In a bowl, add 3 cups of flour (700 grams) and set aside.

In another bowl, add 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of dry yeast, and 1/2 cup of oil (65 mL).

Mix the ingredients well.

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients along with 200 mL of water to form a soft dough.

Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until well combined.

Place the dough back in the bowl and let it rest for at least 1 hour to rise.

After 1 hour, divide the dough into 2-3 parts and roll out into a larger size.

Cut the rolled dough into 16 pieces using a pizza cutter.

Cut the feta cheese into 2 pieces and place it on each piece of dough.

Fold the dough over the cheese to form a shape and create a design on top.

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with white and black sesame seeds.

Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes until golden brown.
