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

Cooling down This was a fast dough  mixed at 9am  and out the oven  close to mid day

it was actually a tasty piece of bread  The dough was mixed on the bench by hand.

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.

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.

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.
