Mix all ingredients (keep some sesame seeds for decoration) and knead firmly for 15 minutes. Roll out the dough to a rectangular shape with the width of a bread tin, and roll it up. Put in the bread tin, and sprinkle the top first with some water and then sesame seed. Leave the bread to rise for one and a half hour. Bake 35 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
The semolina makes the bread nice and firm and gives a delicious crust. Great for children: normally they will not eat the crust, but now they will eat the crust first.
Mix all ingredients. Put the batter in a cake or bread tin. Bake 40 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
On 29 December 1937, Ireland was blessed with a new constitution naming it a sovereign state and therefore, the 29th of December is Constitution Day, but not a public holiday. Click on culinary calendar for more links between cooking and worldwide history.
