What to get ready

  • Photograph of Flour Flour 1.1 lb
  • Photograph of Dry yeast Dry yeast 0.4 oz
  • Photograph of Feta cheese Feta cheese 12.7 oz
  • Photograph of Mozzarella Mozzarella 7.1 oz
  • Photograph of Chicken eggs Chicken eggs 2
  • Photograph of Parsley Parsley 1.1 oz
  • Photograph of Black sesame Black sesame 0.6 oz

Method

  1. 1 Knead the dough with yeast and olive oil, then let it rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  2. 2 Soak feta cheese in water for 20 minutes, then crumble it and mix the mozzarella with parsley.
  3. 3 If the cheese is still too salty, change the soaking water again; excessively salty cheese will bleed salt onto the crust.
  4. 4 Roll out the dough into a ball, add the filling, then fold it into an open boat shape and seal both ends tightly.
  5. 5 Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and bake at 210 degrees for 16 minutes until the cheese is slightly puffed up.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 50 min

    Replace step 5: spray a thin layer of oil onto the sides of the mold, use a 225-degree hot air oven for 10 minutes, rotating the tray at minute 5. The strong airflow shortens the time by about one-third compared to a conventional oven and browns the surface faster.
