Turn on hot water and rinse a bowl with it, then dry the outside.

Fill a measuring cup with 14 oz warm tap water.

Sprinkle 1 and 1/4 teaspoon instant yeast into the warm water.

Add 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowl and stir to combine.

Add 3 and 1/2 cups bread flour to the bowl, using the handle of a spoon to mix.

Scrape the sides of the bowl and use a spatula to bring any dry flour into the mixture.

Form the dough into a shaggy ball and cover with plastic wrap.

Proof the dough for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a warm draft-free environment.

Spray a pan with no stick spray.

De-gas the dough and shape it into a ball, then place it into the pan.

Garnish the dough with 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds, rolling it in the seeds to coat.

Place the pan on top of another pan and secure with binder clips to create a 'poor man's Dutch oven'.

Proof the dough for an additional 30 to 60 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400°F and move the oven rack to the lower third.

Bake the loaf pan for 40 minutes at 400°F with the top on, then remove the top and bake for an additional 3 to 15 minutes to finish the crust.
