Mix flour, salt, and yeast in a bowl.

Gradually add water and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

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

Chop onions and sauté in oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add ground meat and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes.

Stir in grated carrots, cumin, and black pepper; cook for another 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

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

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

Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle and pinch the edges to seal.

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

Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before serving.
