Mix flour, semolina, salt, sugar, and baking powder in a bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

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

Preheat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

Divide the dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Fry each circle in hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve warm, optionally drizzled with honey.
