Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Add warm water and melted butter to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1 cm thickness.

Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.

Arrange the filled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

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

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
