INGREDIENTS

For the dough:

  • 1 kg Village flour
  • 1 kg Fine flour (Type 00)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon (12g) baking powder
  • 1 small tub (450g) sheep's yogurt
  • 1 small tub (450g) seed oil
  • 1 small tub (450g) water or as much as needed
  • 1 pinch of salt

For the filling

  • 250 g Feta cheese
  • 250 g grated Halloumi cheese
  • 250 g salted Anari cheese
  • 250 g unsalted Anari cheese
  • 250 g grated Edam cheese
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • Finely chopped fresh or dried mint
  • ½ package boiled sesame seeds for coating
  • 1 egg for brushing

METHOD

  1. Place all the dough ingredients in a mixer and knead (using the dough hook) until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest until you prepare the filling. Crumble the unsalted and salted Anari, the Feta, and add the grated Halloumi and Edam. Add the baking powder, the eggs, the mint, and mix well.
  2. Roll out the dough, place the filling, and roll it up once. Roll it in the sesame seeds. Then, cut the roll into pieces about 2 cm thick, place them on a baking tray lined with non-stick parchment paper with the cut side facing up. Press them down slightly and brush them with the egg wash.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 30-45 minutes.
