The Garlic and Herb dough placed into the cold Sassafras and washed with cornflour paste
The poppy and sesame seed applied
Proved nicely with the lid on and ready for the oven

dried yeast 10g
malt 10g
milk powder 10g

MMMmmm, looks great!
What's the size/weight of the contents of a typical grocery store packet/sachet of dried yeast in AU ?
It's 7 grams in the US. I've read of 10 grams in some countries.
Yes its 7g here in Aus i buy mine in the tube and thats 280g i will amend the yeast omission thanks for that

Wow Derek, that is one fancy looking loaf. I love the crumb it has a nice yellow hue I would have guess that it had eggs in it, but I don’t see that in the ingredients. The lovely braided decoration and seeds make the outside look so inviting.

Hi Benny thanks , i think the photo is not quite true to color being indoor and the flash reflecting the yellow from the cutting board somewhat.
The milk powder does have a yellow hue. As you can see the cornflour paste has done a good job catching and sticking the seeds which i applied in reverse for the two pieces.
Did you notice the natural ear that occurred along the edge of the braid/twist.
Derek
Yes the cornflour paste really did a great job at the seeds. I didn’t notice the ear that developed I was too distracted by the great braid along the top.
picture 5, i also enlarged the cut shot from the initial post.
Its earlly Tuesday morning here Sunrise and it appears you are 12 hours behind us Benny.
Yes sounds about right, it is 724 pm here and soon time to get ready for bed for my usual early start of clinic tomorrow.
I like the flavours of this bread. Nice bake.
Thanks Gav how did your time away go?
We had a great time and the weather was beautiful. Happy hour around the fire was very funny and extended into the night :)
Cheers
