Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 7

    Add Spinach

    Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted. Season with black pepper. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

  3. 8

    Combine Filling

    Once cooled, mix in crumbled feta cheese with the spinach mixture. Set aside.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 9

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 10

    Roll Out Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 11

    Cut and Fill

    Cut the rolled dough into circles (about 4-5 inches in diameter). Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each circle.

  4. 12

    Seal the Aloni

    Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, using a fork to crimp if desired.

  5. 13

    Bake the Aloni

    Place the filled alonis on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
