Add lukewarm water to the mixture and stir until there are no dry patches left.

Cover the bowl with plastic film and let the dough rise in a warm environment for about 2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450°F and place the Dutch oven inside to preheat as well.

Transfer the dough onto a floured work surface and dust the top with more flour to handle the sticky dough.

Shape the dough into a ball by stretching and folding it onto itself, then place it on parchment paper for the final rise.

Cover the dough with plastic film greased with oil and let it rise for about 35 minutes or until doubled in size.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the risen dough and score the surface with a sharp knife greased with oil.

Transfer the dough into the preheated Dutch oven, cover with the lid, and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the lid, reduce the oven temperature to 400°F, and bake for an additional 8 to 12 minutes until golden brown.

Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing.
