Knead the Dough
Mix until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

First Rise
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Shape the Bread
Once risen, punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Roll the loaf in sesame seeds to coat it evenly.

Second Rise
Place the shaped loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let it rise for an additional 30 minutes.

Bake the Bread
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
