Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).
-
Prepare the filling by crumbling feta or goat cheese and mixing with about 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley, if not adding herbs to the dough.
-
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with yogurt, melted butter, salt, baking powder, and sugar. Knead, gradually adding more flour, until a smooth, firm dough forms.
-
If using fresh herbs, knead them thoroughly into the dough.
-
Form the dough into plum-sized balls for breakfast rolls or apricot-sized for bite-sized pastries.
-
Flatten each dough ball on a floured surface, add a small amount of filling, then fold and pinch the edges to seal.
-
Place the rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking tray, shaping them into ovals, leaving 1 inch between each.
-
Brush roll tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame, poppy, or black cumin seeds.
-
Bake until golden brown and puffed.
-
Serve warm, optionally with fruit preserves and honey.
