Instructions
1. Prepare the bowl. Coat the inside of a metal mixing bowl with oil, and set aside.
2. Prepare the yeast. Mix the yeast, water, and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
3. Make the dough. Slowly add the flour 1/2 cup at a time to the yeast mixture. Add the salt and sesame seeds and knead for at 10 to 15 minutes by hand. Dough will become firm and have a stretchy consistency.

5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
6. Prepare baking sheet. Lightly oil a 12x15 baking sheet and set aside.
7. Separate dough into eight equal-sized pieces. Roll each one out onto the baking sheet to resemble large strips.
8. Create holes in the dough. Lightly puncture the surface of the dough 1/2" apart.
9. Bake bread for 6 to 8 minutes until top is lightly brown.
