    Knock back dough on a lightly floured surface, roll into a 55cm-long cylinder, form into a ring, brush ends with milk and press to seal. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper, cover and stand in a warm place until doubled in size (45 minutes). Brush with extra milk, scatter with extra seeds and bake until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped on the base (30-40 minutes). Set aside to cool, then serve.
