Take out the chilled dough and, using the plastic bag, roll it out to a 0.3 cm-thick sheet. Cut open both sides of the plastic bag to form a large plastic sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tbsp black sesame seeds and the white sesame seeds over the surface, then gently press with a rolling pin so the sesame seeds embed into the dough.
