Sajji Pies with Halloumi

For the Dough

• 1 kg all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sunflower oil
• 2 cups water, approximately
• 1 package (350g) vegetable shortening (or 'fytini') melted
• 1 package (250g) grated Halloumi cheese

For Serving

• Honey

For the Dough:

1. Place the flour, salt, and oil in a bowl and 'ryziazome' the flour. This means rubbing it with your palms until coarse crumbs form.
2. Add the water and knead until you have a soft dough. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes.
3. Take a small piece of dough and roll it out into a thin rectangle. Brush with the vegetable shortening and sprinkle with a little Halloumi. Roll it up into a log, twist it, and coil it into a spiral shape (like a snail).
4. Let the dough rest briefly, then roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin round sheet. Heat a non-stick pan, brush it with a little oil, and cook our pies over medium heat.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Serve with plenty of honey.
