Instructions

Make the Dough:

Combine the flour with the salt & sugar in a large bowl and whisk together. Add it to the yeast mixture along with the olive oil.

Mix all.  Let sit 5 minutes.  Oil Hands, fold, repeat 4 more times (total of 5).

Grease a large bowl with olive oil and toss the dough in the bowl.  Quite a good bit of oil.  Very sticky dough.

Cover with plastic wrap and set aside to rise until doubled in volume.

Make the Cheese Filling:

Combine all of the filling ingredients together in a bowl and mix until they're all incorporated. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.

Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and divide it into 8 or 16 equal portions.

Press each portion into a flat circle and divide the filling equally between all of the dough portions.

Fold the edges of dough over the filling and press it into a disc.

Place all of the filled portions of dough onto baking trays lined with parchment paper and sprinkled with semolina.

Set aside to rest for 20 minutes.

Brush the top of each disc with melted butter and sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

Bake for 15 minutes on the center rack of the preheated oven. Move the tray to the top rack and bake an additional 8 minutes or until golden.
