Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

Flatten each ball into a disc and spread butter on top.

Sprinkle cheese over half of each disc and fold it over to create a half-moon shape.

Cook each bread until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from skillet and sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
