Method

Mix the sesame seeds and rosemary together. Knead together the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, olive oil and water into a soft dough, cover and allow for proving for 1 hour until doubled in bulk. Turn out onto a lightly dusted surface, knock dough and cut into 9 balls. Flatten each one with your fingertips, crumble some gbejna into each one and flip over to close the cheese inside. Roll the obtained balls into 2cm thick cigars and twist into a ring, pinching the edges, press onto the sesame-rosemary mixture.  Place onto a baking tray, cover with a grease proof paper and allow doubling in bulk. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C  until golden brown.

Prepare the olive dip, whizz together the remaining ingredients into a rough consistency. 

Serve the warm bread rings accompanied by the olive dip.
