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

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a round ball and flatten slightly.

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten eggs and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
