INGREDIENTS

For the Dough

  • 500 gr. village flour
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 125 ml olive oil
  • 125 ml fresh orange juice
  • 185 ml water

For the Filling

  • 100 gr. finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 400 gr. halloumi cheese, cubed
  • 100 gr. fresh salted anari cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons mint, finely chopped

For the Topping

  • 1 beaten egg
  • Sesame seeds

METHOD

  1. Place all the dough ingredients into the mixer bowl in the order listed. Knead until a soft dough forms. Place it in a greased bowl and let it rise for 1-2 hours until it at least doubles in volume.
  2. Put the onion in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté gently until golden brown. Put all the filling ingredients into a bowl and add the sautéed onion. Mix to combine.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle approximately 30x40 cm. Sprinkle each piece with 1/4 of the filling and roll it up into a log.
  4. Join the two ends of the log with a little egg. Make 6 small slits, about 1 centimeter deep, all around the 'halloumotis' (stuffed bread). Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  5. Bake at 180°C on fan mode for 40-45 minutes.
