Level of difficulty

Time needed 85 minutes

2 packages (450 g) DODONI halloumi

100 g DODONI strained yogurt

2 eggs

3 tbsp. finely chopped peppermint

500 g of plain flour

16 g dry yeast

½ tsp. salt

1 tsp. sugar

125 ml olive oil

125 ml warm fresh DODONI milk

150 ml lukewarm water

Sesame seeds to garnish

For the pastry dough, put the flour, sugar and yeast in a food processor bowl and mix.

Add the salt and olive oil and stir again.

Add the water and the DODONI milk and stir for about 7 minutes until a soft dough is formed.

Cover and leave it in a warm place to rise for 2 hours. The dough should double in volume.

For the filling, beat the 2 eggs in a bowl. Put a small amount of the eggs into another bowl and grate the DODONI halloumi into the remainder.

Add the strained DODONI yogurt and the mint, and mix everything together. Leave the filling aside.

When the dough rises, deflate it and divide it into two equal parts. Take one part and roll it into a rectangular shape with a rolling pin.

Spread half of the filling evenly, leaving a space at one end so that the filling doesn't spill out.

Brush some of the beaten egg that you kept aside onto the side without the filling, and form the dough into a roll shape.

Cut the roll into 3 equal parts and put them on non-stick baking paper in the baking tray.

Do the same with the rest of the dough.

Cover the baking tray and leave it in a warm place for another 30 minutes.

Then brush the top of the rolls with egg and sprinkle sesame seeds on them.

Bake a preheated fan oven at 180°C for 30-40 minutes.
