Step 1
Mix 1/3 cup hot water and yeast together in a small bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Step 2
Mix in flour, powdered milk, sugar, olive oil, baking powder, and salt while adding remaining water gradually to make a combined dough. Leave in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.

Step 3
While the dough is rising, prepare the stuffing: Heat olive oil in a pan. Add onion, then add spinach and stir-fry for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice. Set aside to cool.

Step 4
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 5
Take small portions of the risen dough and roll into small, flat circles. Fill each circle with about 1 teaspoon spinach mixture and fold into a triangle as follows: fold one edge of the circle to the middle, then the next, then fold the third edge over the top to shape a triangle. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush each piece with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
