1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp olive oil

After 10 minutes, add the second cup of flour, oil, and salt. Remove the air, close the zipper and knead the bag until the flour is mixed.

After that, open the bag again and add the third cup of flour. Remove the air, close, and knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes. Pour some flour over the counter and remove the dough from the bag. Press it with your hands until it forms one piece.

Put the dough in an oiled loaf tin, cover with a towel and let it rest for 30 minutes. Before baking, sprinkle with a little water and some sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 190-200C for 25 minutes.
