INGREDIENTS
For the Dough
- 3 cups village flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup sunflower oil
- 1 sheep's milk yogurt, 400g
For the Filling
- 500g unsalted anari cheese, crumbled
- 1 halloumi cheese, 200g, grated
- 1 feta cheese, 200g, approximately, crumbled
- 5 eggs
- 3 tablespoons fresh mint, coarsely chopped
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
Topping
- Egg
- Sesame seeds
METHOD
First, let's make the dough:
- In a bowl, combine the flour and baking powder, then mix.
- Add the oil and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingertips until coarse crumbs form.
- Add the yogurt and knead until you have a fluffy dough. Cover and set aside while you prepare the filling.
For the filling:
- Place all filling ingredients in a bowl and mix. Take 2/3 of the dough and place it on a piece of parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a large sheet, enough to cover the base and sides of your baking pan, which should be approximately 23x30 cm.
- Carefully transfer the dough sheet to the baking pan and spread it evenly over the base and up the sides. Prick it well with a fork. Spread the filling over the dough, then roll out the remaining dough into a second sheet and cover the filling.
- Fold the edges inwards and prick with a fork. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 50 minutes.
