In response to the question of how to get sesame seeds to stick to your
bread, here's what I do.  (I make sourdough bread (in the machine), take it
out to let it rise, then bake in the oven.)  I have a little spray bottle
which I fill with water, and "spritz" the bread (after shaping and scoring
the top) with water, shake on my sesame seeds, then let it rise as usual
and bake.  The extra water on the loaves never seems to make a difference,
and the seeds stay stuck!  I also sometimes spritz the bread just before
putting it in the oven for a nice crust.  Good luck.
