  • 3 tbsp Olive oil

  • Place the dough into a bowl, cover, and let it rise for an hour
  • Once risen, divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Form into balls and let them rest covered for 30 min
  • Preheat your oven to 260 C. If you're using a convection oven lower the temp to 245C
  • Roll out the balls individually into oval. Cut out a hole at the top making it look like a purse
  • Dip them into water and then into the sesame seeds making sure the dough is well coated
  • Let them rest for another 20 min
  • Bake on baking paper for 10 mins or until they become golden brown. Do not overbake them so they remain chewy and not crunchy
