Dough

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water and sprinkle the yeast on top. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. Add the olive oil, salt, and flour gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it 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.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    While the dough is rising, chop the Sojok into small pieces. In a bowl, combine the Sojok, mozzarella, and feta cheese.

  4. 4

    Shape the Bread

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 2 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Place half of the filling mixture along one edge, then roll the dough tightly to enclose the filling. Pinch the ends to seal.

  5. 5

    Second Rise

    Place the rolled bread seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
