红糖黑芝麻土司

This time round I did not manage to shape the loaf well, looks out of shape. Furthermore I've uses a too large pan for the dough and it does not raises very nice. But the outcome of the bread still taste very nice. My son commented the crust very crispy and hubby said very good crunch 'cos of the sesame :D
