Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 180 g milk
  • 3 g yeast
  • 1 egg
  • 30 g sugar
  • 250 g high-gluten flour bread flour
  • 2 g salt
  • 10 g matcha powder
  • 20 g black sesame seeds
For shaping and the top
  • dry flour plenty, for the mat and for dusting

Method
 

  1. Pour 180 g of milk into a large bowl.
  2. Add 3 g of yeast.
  3. Add 1 egg.
  4. Add 30 g of sugar and 250 g of high-gluten (bread) flour.
  5. Add 2 g of salt and 10 g of matcha powder.
  6. Add 20 g of black sesame seeds.
  7. Stir with a spatula until there is no dry flour left. The dough will be soft and sticky.
  8. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  9. Wet your hands. Pull up the four sides of the dough one at a time and fold them into the middle.
  10. Keep pulling and folding until the dough can no longer be stretched.
  11. Let the dough rise until it is twice its original size.
  12. Sprinkle plenty of dry flour on the dough mat, turn the dough out and press it lightly to release the air.
  13. Fold the four sides into the middle, roll it up into a log and pinch the seam tightly closed.
  14. Lay the loaf on baking paper in the air fryer basket with the air fryer switched off, cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise until it is twice as large.
  15. Dust the top with dry flour and cut a few slashes across it.
  16. Bake at 150°C (about 300°F) for 20 minutes.
  17. Turn the loaf over and bake for another 10 minutes.
  18. Let it cool a little, then slice and serve.

Notes

All amounts, the temperature and the times come from our video. The video says 150 degrees without a unit; that is Celsius (about 300°F). It does not give times for the two rises, only "twice its original size", so the total time here does not include rising; allow extra time for that, longer in a cool kitchen. The 20 minutes prep is our estimate.
