Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a baking stone inside if available.

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal portions.

Shape each portion into an oval, about 1/2 inch thick.

Place the shaped dough on a floured baking sheet.

Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Make shallow slashes on the surface of each loaf with a sharp knife.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
