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

Add warm water and milk to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

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

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

Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone inside if available.

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

Roll each portion into a flat circle or oval shape on a floured surface.

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each rolled dough piece, pressing gently to adhere.

Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until golden and puffed.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter or olive oil.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
