In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add warm water and olive oil, knead into a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough into a large oval shape. Place the cheese in the center, fold the edges over to form a half-moon shape.
Beat the egg and brush it over the dough. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
