1.Make the dough. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast, salt
and sugar. Add the oil and enough water to make a firm dough. Knead for at
least 5 mins. Put into a polythene bag and leave to rise in a warm place
for an hour.

2.Make filling. Coarsely grate the cheeses, add flour and baking powder
then gradually stir in the mint and beaten eggs until you have a stiffish
paste.

3.Preheat the oven to 230 C Gas 8. Divide the dough into egg size peices
and roll into 4 " discs. Put a generous tbsp of filling in the centre of
each disc and spread slightly. Pull the dough up at 4 points to make a
square. Press the corners together to seal and leave to rise.

4.Just before baking, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle some sesame
seeds over. Bake for 1215 mins until the cheese filling has puffed up and
the pastry is golden. Serve warm or cold.
