Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt and oil, then gradually pour in the lukewarm water while kneading until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size.
- Meanwhile, mash the feta with a fork and mix it with the kos and pepper to make a creamy filling.
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Divide the dough into 4 balls, then flatten each into a disc about 20 cm wide.
- Place a generous spoonful of filling in the centre of each disc, fold the edges towards the middle and pinch well to seal.
- Turn the breads over, gently flatten them and place on a tray lined with baking paper.
- Brush with the egg beaten with milk and sprinkle with nigella seeds if you have them.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Variations and tips
Sweet version. Replace the feta with fresh white cheese and add a spoonful of honey to the filling.
Using what's available here. The feta can be replaced with a feta-style cheese or drained white cheese seasoned with salt.
