In a 2-cup measuring cup, combine water and sugar. Stir in yeast. Let stand

add more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, processing just until blended.

processing just until blended.  Process 20 seconds to knead. Lightly oil a
large bowl, swirling to coat bottom and sides. Place dough in oiled bowl;
turn to coat all sides. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm,
draft-free place until doubled in bulk, about 1-1/2 hours. Lightly grease a
baking sheet. When dough has doubled in bulk, punch down dough; turn out

inches in diameter; place on greased baking sheet. Sprinkle top of loaf
with sesame seeds; press seeds gently into surface of loaf. Cover very
loosely with plastic wrap; let rise until almost doubled in bulk, 1 hour.
