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 damp cloth and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a circle.

Spread the filling of choice over half of each circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges.

Place the katah on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

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

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
