1

Add olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until well combined.

2

Cover the bowl with cling wrap and allow for the first proofing for 6 hours.

After proofing, the dough should have tripled in size; sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of flour on top to deflate it.

4

Transfer the dough to a greased bread loaf tin.

5

Allow the dough to proof for about 1 hour in the loaf tin.

6

Sprinkle the top of the dough with pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.

7

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for 35 to 40 minutes.

While still warm, brush the top with butter to achieve a glossy finish and soften the crust.

9

Let the bread cool completely before cutting into it.
