Santorinian soft cheese pastries
Directions
- Pour in a bowl flour and olive oil and start adding gradually water. Knead the dough and try to make it elastic.
- Set aside and prepare the stuffing by mixing all ingredients together. Work the mixture well with your hands.
- Then roll out a thin sheet of dough and use a small bowl or tea cup of less than 10 cm diameter to cut circular pieces of the dough. In each round piece of dough place a spoon full of the stuffing on the center.
- Fold the uncovered piece of dough all round the stuffing in order to shape something that resembles a round plate and squiz it softly with a toothpick or a fork. It should look like a round open parcel. The top of the pastry should remain uncovered.
- Oil a baking pan and bake in high temperature 220 – 250 C for no more than 15 minutes.
- The top of the stuffing should get a golden color.
