Step 1
On a lightly floured surface, divide the 1 lb pizza dough into 3 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 12 inch rope.
Step 2
Pinch the 3 ropes together at one end, then braid them tightly. Pinch the other end to seal, and tuck both ends under.
Step 3
Place the braid on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Beat the 1 egg in a small bowl and brush it over the entire loaf.
Step 4
Sprinkle the 2 tbsp sesame seeds evenly over the top. Bake at 375°F until deep golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, about 18-20 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
