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

Add warm water and olive oil; stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth.

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

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Sauté chopped onion in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes; remove from heat.

In a bowl, combine feta cheese, sautéed spinach, and black pepper; mix well.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread the cheese and spinach mixture evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and shape it into a circle on a baking sheet.

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

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
