Tiropita

Ingredients

For the dough:

• 4 ¼ cups flour, self-rising (If you don’t have self-rising flour, then use regular flour with
• 6 teaspoons of baking powder and little bit of salt & pepper)
• 1 ¼ cup butter, melted and cooled
• 1 cup plain yogurt (regular)
• 2 eggs
• Salt and pepper

For the filling:

• 400 grams of feta cheese
• 2 eggs
• Pepper
• 2 teaspoons butter, melted

For egg wash:

• 1 egg, beaten
• Water if desired

Instructions

1. 1
   In a small mixing bowl, combine 2 eggs, 1 cup plain yogurt, a dash of salt and pepper, and the 1 ¼ cup of melted butter (cooled). Add the flour slowly, and let it sit for 1 hour to rise.
2. 2
   In a separate bowl, prepare the filling. Crumble the feta cheese and mix in 2 eggs, 2 teaspoons of melted butter, and a little bit of pepper.
3. 3
   Divide the dough to make 32 tiropita. Roll the dough to a thin layer. Use a round cookie cutter (about 8 cm diameter). Put 1 tablespoon of filling in the dough and fold into a halfmoon shape. Seal the edges with a fork or finger. Place on baking sheet. Brush egg wash over the tiropita. Bake at 400°F until golden, approximately 30 minutes.
