Sesame Honey Loaf Bread

Hmmm... the flavor of this bread is delicious, even without the somewhat decadent honey butter topping. The texture is chewy in a good way and the sesame gives it a great added crunch. Unfortunately my loaf came out a bit dense. I made this in a pullman pan as I did not have the covered baker, and according to the reviews this had worked for others.. I took about 1/3 of the dough aside and made a large bun, again according to the reviews/questions/advice of other bakers. In the end the entire batch could have fit into the pullman pan as there was not tremendous rise. That said I did allow this to proof overnight in the fridge which has never affected rise before. All in all I will probably try this again perhaps in a dutch oven.
