In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until the yeast is frothy and activated.
Add olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Gradually mix in the flour, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Punch down the dough to release excess air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Brush the surface of the dough with non-dairy milk and sprinkle generously with sesame seeds.
Cover the loaf with a damp cloth and let it rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it reaches the top of the loaf pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Allow the bread to cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve as desired.
