Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the activated yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    Let It Rise

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

Filling Preparation

  1. 6

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until translucent.

  2. 7

    Add Spinach and Mushrooms

    Add spinach and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until mushrooms are tender and spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cheese until melted and well combined.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 9

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 10

    Shape the Hats

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about ¼ inch thick.

  3. 11

    Fill and Fold

    Place a spoonful of the filling on one half of the dough circle, then fold the other half over to create a hat shape. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

    In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the top of each hat. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
