Three Delicious Savory Pastries

Requirements:
 
  • 1 cup olive oil + melted butter
  • 1 cup strained yogurt
  • 2 eggs (reserve one egg yolk for brushing on top)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 packet baking powder
  • Gluten-free flour (as much as needed; use gradually to achieve a soft dough that doesn’t stick to your hands)

Cooking Instruction:
 
  • First, crack the eggs and add the sugar and salt. Beat with a fork.
  • Add the yogurt and whisk until smooth.
  • Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder, then knead the dough.
  • Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.
  • You can prepare the dough the night before, cover it, and keep it refrigerated overnight. In the morning, add the filling, shape the pastries, and bake.

Inner Material:
 
  • White cheese and grated kashar cheese
  • Dill and parsley
  • If you prefer, you can also use ground meat or potato filling.
  • Tear pieces of dough and flatten them between two sheets of parchment paper using your hands. Place the filling inside and fold it closed.
  • Brush the tops with egg yolk.
  • You can sprinkle nigella seeds and/or sesame seeds on top.
  • Bake in the oven until the tops turn golden brown.
