Divide the dough in 2, and form them into balls creating a taut smooth surface.", "Flip dough ball over so you have the seam on top. Fold the top 2/3 over, pressing the dough to adhere. Repeat a few times to make a log with good surface tension. Roll the log to the size of the baking sheet. Place the log/loaf on a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the second loaf.", "Let the breads rise, covered for another 30-40 minutes.", "Preheat the oven for 450F (235C).", "Brush the breads with egg wash, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and score the breads a few times across the bread, to help with the oven spring.", "Place the breads in the oven, and just before closing the oven door, splash 1/4 cup water in the bottom of the oven, and quickly close the door.", "Bake the breads for 40-45 minutes until deep golden brown.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
