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.

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.

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.
