Method

Preparing the Base

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure an even mix.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil and water. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Preparing the Core Filling

  1. 5

    Sauté the Onions and Garlic

    In a pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent.

  2. 6

    Add Spinach

    Add the spinach to the pan and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 7

    Mix in Feta and Season

    Remove the pan from heat and mix in the feta cheese and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

Assembling and Baking

  1. 8

    Roll Out the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  2. 9

    Cut and Fill

    Using a cookie cutter or a round glass, cut out circles from the dough. Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta filling in the center of each circle.

  3. 10

    Seal the Dough

    Fold the circles in half and pinch the edges to seal tightly. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 11

    Add Toppings

    Sprinkle sesame seeds and paprika over the top of each pastry.

  5. 12

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
