2. Place a sheet of parchment paper on an oven tray. Cut half of the dough and place on the parchment paper.
3. Mix all the filling ingredients and spread evenly over the dough, leaving “clean” margins all around.
4. Beat the egg for the wash and brush over the margins. Lay the other half of the dough over the first half with the filling, and press the top and bottom margins together to seal the edges. Brush the top with the egg wash. Score the top into squares for easier portioning when it’s ready, and sprinkle sesame seeds
