Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 3 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Make a well in the center.
Step 2
Pour the 3/4 cup milk and 3 tbsp vegetable oil into the well. Stir with a fork until a soft dough forms, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until smooth. Divide into 3 equal pieces and roll each into a 12-inch rope.
Step 4
Pinch the 3 ropes together at one end, then braid them loosely. Tuck the ends under and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
Step 5
Brush the braid with a little extra milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds if you have them. Bake at 375°F until golden brown, about 15-18 minutes.
