👨‍🍳 Method

For the Wrapping Dough

  1. 1
    In a bowl, mix the flour and salt.
    Bowl
  2. 2
    Add the olive oil and the water and Knead about 5 minutes, until you get a smooth, soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
    ⚙ KneadingBowlStand mixer
    💡If the dough sticks, add a tablespoon of flour; if it crumbles, a tablespoon of water. Good dough is as soft as an earlobe.
  3. 3
    Cover and let the dough rest 20 minutes at room temperature.
    💡Oil-and-water dough needs no rising: the rest relaxes the gluten, so the dough rolls out thin without shrinking back.

For the Pastry Filling

  1. 4
    In a bowl, mix the scallions, feta, yellow cheese and parsley, and season with black pepper.
    Bowl
  2. 5
    Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each ball into a circle thin.

    💡Dough that springs back needs rest: cover the balls for 10 minutes and the gluten relaxes.
  3. 6
    Place the filling on one half of each round, fold in half and press the edges firmly.
  4. 7
    Heat a dry pan over medium heat.
