Oily Pastry

1 packet of virtual dry – 10 gr.

2 tablespoons of powdered sugar

• ½ cup sunflower oil

Butter – at room temperature

Ingredients for the Filling

1 tablespoon of water

For the dough: In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, dry yeast, and granulated sugar and let it sit for 5 minutes. In a separate mixing bowl, place the flour and make a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and sunflower oil. Begin mixing with a fork. Add the salt from the sides and continue mixing. Once the dough is slightly firm, begin kneading. When the dough is ready, cover it tightly to prevent air from entering and let it rise for 1 hour.

To assemble: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated feta cheese and fresh kashar cheese. Divide the risen dough into 16 balls. Place 1 tablespoon of room temperature butter on each ball and flatten it with your hands to the size of a dessert plate. Stack 4 balls on top of each other in this way. Prepare all the balls in this way. You will have a total of 4 dough balls. Arrange the prepared dough balls on a baking sheet and let them rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Take the prepared dough balls onto the counter and flatten them thinly into rectangles with your hands. Spread butter on the dough. Fold the long edge towards the middle, spread butter, and fold the other side over the dough and spread butter. Divide the dough into 5 equal pieces and lightly flatten each piece into a round shape with your hands. Fill the dough with the prepared cheese mixture, close it like a bundle, and twist it once in your hands. Prepare all the dough in this way and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make an X on the top of the dough with a knife. In a mixing bowl, mix the egg yolk and water. Brush the prepared pastries with egg yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes.
