TOTAL: 3:50
YIELD: 1 LOAF

In the large bowl of an electric stand mixer,combine the water, 
yeast, and sugar and let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.

In a second large bowl, place the flour, lard,and salt. Rub between 
fingertips until evenly incorporated.

Attach the yeast bowl to the stand mixer with the dough hook 
attachment.(We often start the bread in a stand mixer using a dough 
hook, then transfer the mixture to a floured surface to knead.) 
Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture, stirring until 
combined. Transfer the mixture to a lightly floured surface and knead 
the dough until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes.

Coat a large clean bowl with oil and place the dough in the bowl, 
turning to coat in the oil. Cover loosely with a towel and set in a 
warm place until it doubles in size, 1 to 2 hours.

Lightly oil a large rimmed baking sheet. Punch down the dough into a 
9" flat disk and transfer to the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with the 
sesame seeds, gently pressing them into the dough. Loosely cover the 
dough with a towel and let rise until a finger pressed into the side 
of the dough leaves a lasting imprint, about 1 hour.

Heat oven to 425F. Lightly beat the egg with 2 tablespoons water and 
brush all over the bread. Bake 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and 
reduce oven temp to 375F. Bake until the bread is golden brown and 
sounds hollow when tapped, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack 
and let cool.
