Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place at home for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Deflate the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces, each weighing around 175 grams. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.

Take one ball of dough and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin to a diameter of about 15 cm.

Beat the egg in a bowl and brush it over the dough. Use your fingers to make a pattern on the dough by lightly pressing into it. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the Turkish bread for 12-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times may vary depending on your oven. Once they are done, immediately cover the Turkish bread with a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft.
