Time 1h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 ½ teaspoons white sugar
2 tablespoons warm milk
1 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 cup whole wheat flour
½ cup warm water, or more as needed
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon salted butter, or as needed
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
½ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
1 teaspoon poppy seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup water, vegetable oil, salt, and yeast mixture in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment; knead until pliable and not too sticky. Add a little flour if too soft, or warm water if too hard. Cover with a wet cloth and let sit at room temperature for 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking tray with butter.
  • Mix feta cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and chili powder together in a bowl until well combined.
  • Knead dough for 2 minutes. Divide it into 12 equal portions, and roll each one into a ball. Use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each ball into a 2- to 3-inch circle. Add a spoon of cheese filling in the middles and fold the edges upward like a bundle, pressing to secure. Place on the prepared baking try, folded-sides down. Brush with milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Bake on the top rack of the preheated oven until golden, 30 to 32 minutes.
