Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams all-purpose flour
- 7 grams instant yeast
- 15 grams granulated sugar
- 10 grams salt
- 300 milliliters warm water
- 60 milliliters olive oil
- 200 grams feta cheese
- 200 grams mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 30 grams parsley, chopped
- 10 grams black sesame seeds
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add instant yeast and warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until the dough starts to come together.
Pour in the olive oil and continue to knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the grated mozzarella, egg, and chopped parsley until well combined.
After the dough has risen, divide it into four equal pieces and roll each one into an oval shape, about 1/2 cm thick.
Transfer the rolled dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spoon the cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of each oval, leaving a border.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching the ends to seal and create a boat shape.
Brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg yolk and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
