  • Dough:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Filling:
  • 1 pound fresh spinach
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cups crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup halloumi cheese
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Add oil, egg, and yogurt. Add milk gradually until a smooth, pliable dough forms that does not stick. Form into a ball, cover in plastic wrap, and place dough in the refrigerator to rest for about 1 hour.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a glass baking dish.
  3. 3
    Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute. Drain and let cool.
  4. 4
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until transparent, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  5. 5
    Chop cooled spinach and combine with onion in a bowl. Add feta cheese, Cheddar cheese, then halloumi cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add eggs.
  6. 6
    Take dough from refrigerator and knead on a clean surface. Divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Roll out larger piece of dough to cover bottom and sides of the prepared baking dish, using your hands to stretch the dough.
  7. 7
    Spread filling into dough-lined baking dish. Roll out remaining dough to fit and place on top of filling. Pinch sides to enclose filling. Cut a cross on top and brush lightly with milk.
  8. 8
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden on top and risen, about 45 minutes.
