Ingredients

Dough:

• • 3 glasses of water
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 teaspoon yeast
• 6 cups of flour

Stuffing:

• Feta cheese

To Lubricate:

• • 100 g butter

• 1 water glass measure of oil

Directions

1. 1. Prepare the Dough:
      • • In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
        • Add the salt and gradually mix in the flour, kneading until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
      • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
   2. Prepare the Stuffing:
      • • Crumble the feta cheese and set it aside.

   3. Form the Bread:
      • • Once the dough has risen, divide it into equal portions.
        • Flatten each portion into a small disc and place a small amount of crumbled feta cheese in the center.
      • Fold the edges over the cheese to seal and shape it into a ball or desired shape.
   4. Lubricate:
      • • Melt the butter and mix it with the oil in a small bowl.
      • Use this mixture to brush over each stuffed dough piece.
   5. Bake:
      • • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
      • Place the stuffed dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
      • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
