Dried herbs provide flavor without spoilage.

Mix warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl; cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

Roll each piece into a circle on a floured surface.

Spread labneh in the center of each circle, leaving space at the edges.

Sprinkle fresh herbs and lemon juice over the labneh.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a pocket; pinch to seal.

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

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

Bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
