Turkish feta and parsley pastry dumplings topped with shiny egg yolk - a delicious savory treat perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients:
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 cup canola oil
- 0.25 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup plain yogurt
- 3 beaten eggs
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine the flour and baking soda and set aside.
- Combine canola oil, butter, yogurt, eggs, sour cream, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Slowly mix in the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough in the bowl for about 5 minutes until not sticky. Mix feta cheese, parsley, olive oil, and paprika in a separate bowl with a fork to create the filling.
- Divide the dough into 2 1/2 tablespoon portions and shape them into 1 3/4-inch balls. Flatten each ball into a 3-inch circle on your palm. Place 1 scant tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle. Bring the edges together over the filling and pinch them to form dumplings. Arrange them seam side down on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Beat the egg yolks in a bowl and brush the tops of the dumplings with it. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
- Bake in the oven until tops are glossy, golden brown, and cracked, for 20-30 minutes.
