recipe or name for greek daily bread with sesame on top
Hi,
I had the very big pleasure of spending the last two weeks in a tiny village on the coast of greece, south and east of Kalamata.
The primary bread at the local grocery store, and every taberna we visited, was the same simple loaf. Oval or torpedo shaped, it had a moderate to fine crumb with white-bread taste (although quite yellow inside) and sesame seeds all over the top. It did not taste overly milky or egg-y, but more like a loaf with quite basic ingredients.
My kids (and I) really enjoyed this bread. Does anyone know the name of the bread or have a recipe?
Thanks!
