Mix flour, water, salt, and yeast in a bowl until a dough forms.

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

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

Meanwhile, combine ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, black pepper, and cumin in a bowl.

Peel and dice the potato and carrot, then add to the meat mixture.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

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

Roll each portion into a circle on a floured surface.

Place a spoonful of the meat mixture in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to form a triangle, sealing the edges tightly.

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

Arrange the samsas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
