Method

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, mix until a dough forms. Let rise for 20 minutes.
Knead the dough and roll it into an oval shape. Place the cheese in the center, fold the edges over to form a half-moon shape.
Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with caraway seeds if using.
Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 18-22 minutes until golden. Serve immediately.
