Sambousek cheese

Method

1. 1 Knead the dough with softened butter and water, then let it rest for 1 hour.
2. 2 Mix shredded feta cheese with shredded mozzarella, one egg, and chopped herbs.
3. 3 Mixing eggs into the cheese filling is a way to prevent the filling from melting and leaking out during frying.
4. 4 Cut the dough into circles, add the filling, and fold it into a semicircle.
5. 5 The edges are pressed tightly together with crutches; even a small gap will cause the cheese to leak out and the oil to smoke.
6. 6 Deep-fry at 170 degrees for 3 minutes, then sprinkle with black sesame seeds and sumac when serving.
