Instructions

- Knead for 5 minutes until you have a smooth ball, cover and let it rise for 1 hour somewhere warm.
- Meanwhile, mix the fresh cheese with the sugar, the two eggs, the orange blossom water and the lemon zest.
- Roll the dough out into a large thin disc on an oiled tray, lightly raising the edges.
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon and raisins if you're using them.
- Bake at 190 °C for 25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is set.

Variations and tips
Festive version. Add a spoonful of toasted pine nuts over the cheese before baking.
Using what's easy to find. Drained ricotta makes an excellent substitute for fresh sheep's cheese.
