Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

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

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Shape each portion into a round or oval loaf and place on a baking sheet.

Brush the tops with milk or melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Let the loaves rest for 15 minutes before baking.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

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