Spinach Fatayer [fa-tie-yer] Recipe

Preparation and Baking

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a mixing bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy. Add flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead until smooth. Let it rise for 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent. Add spinach, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Let the filling cool.

3. 3

   Shape the Fatayer

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls. Roll each ball into a circle. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold the dough to create a triangle, and seal the edges.

4. 4

   Bake the Fatayer

   Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the filled fatayer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
