Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 475°F (245°C).

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

Shape each portion into a flat oval or round.

Brush the surface with oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet or directly on a hot baking stone.

Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter or ghee if desired.
