Instructions
Heat up some water until very hot. Then mix with the cold yogurt. Mixing the two should result in a warm mixture. Stir in the sugar, yeast, and whole wheat flour. Let it rest for about an hour.
Next stir in the flour and salt. Knead the dough together until a smooth ball forms. Add a tad bit more flour or water as needed. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 500F. Prepare the egg and milk wash. Then, divide the dough into 8 pieces and press flat. Make the indentation in the middle with the bottom of a glass or I used my cookie cutter with out cutting it all the way through. If you use a glass, you can make your design with a fork. Dust with flour as needed.
Brush the top with egg wash, then sprinkle a few black sesame seeds in the middle,
