Feta Stuffed Dough

These savoury feta stuffed buns are so soft and good. You will want to eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In our house they disappear pretty quick. And the good thing is that you can add other ingredients too and they will taste just as delicious. Add anything from meat and cheese or herbs, and you will be amazed how different and tasty they are.

Ingredients:

  1. All purpose flour- 500gr., if you need more add a little at a time
  2. Salt -1tsp
  3. Sugar -1tsp.
  4. Active dry yeast – 2tsp.
  5. Milk – 200ml.
  6. Olive oil- 60ml.
  7. Eggs -2
  8. Feta cheese -200gr.
    For the top:
    1 egg + tbsp of milk

Add all ingredients and make a soft dough, coat with oil and let it rest until it has doubled. On a surface roll into a thick circle, cut into 8 pizza slices. Roll the slices in a ball,then flat and stretch each ball a little with your fingers. Next, using a rolling pin roll them out thin, cover a good area with feta and roll into a log, then roll the log itself. Put them in a pan and cover with plastic wrap to rise again for 30min. In the meantime beat 1 egg +tbsp of milk , set aside. After 30min preheat the oven to 375° and after the oven has preheated spread the egg and milk mixture over them. Bake for about 28min.
You can spread butter over the buns, let them rest for about 10min.before you do that.

Mini Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients:
Plain Yogurt -125gr.
Egg-1medium
Olive oil-2tbsp.
Sugar-2tbsp.
Baking soda -1tsp.
Milk-100ml.
Vanilla -1/2tsp
Flour-200gr.


Mix the ingredients in the order they are written. Use a bigger spoon to scoop them in the pan. You will need to spread the batter a little bit, because this batter is thicker than regular pancake batter. Heat a pan on medium, then lower the heat to 2 and cook until golden brown.

• Depending on your stove, you may have to go up or down on the heat, because the pancakes cook fast on the outside and the inside may not be ready. I did have to lower the heat to 1.
• Add any toppings you like to these fluffy pancakes. My kids ate them with just powdered sugar and they loved them.

2. Sugar – 1/2 cup

3. Yeast – 2 tsp.

4. Egg – 1 midium

5. Vanilla – 1tsp.

6. Milk – 3/4 cup (lukewarm)

7. Butter – 1/4 cup, melted

8. A little oil – I used olive oil     

Egg Wash:

 1 egg + a little milk

Add the ingredients in the order they are listed and make a soft dough. Coat the dough in oil and let it rise overnight. The next day, make three logs and shape them into a braid. Let it rise again about 30min to an hour. Before putting it in the oven, spread egg wash all over the bread and bake in a preheated oven at 400° for about 25-30min. 

Note:

  • You can add raisins soaked in rum for 20-30min, like I did. I eyeballed the amount. You can also add anything else you like in that kind of recipe.
  • Depending on your oven, it may take less or more time to bake it.

Fruit Filling

This fruit filling is good to be used for cakes, when frying or baking with dough. You can use any combination of fruits, and you can also make jam. If you don’t like mixing fruits, use one type of fruit.

Ingredients:

1. Strawberries and blueberries – 1lb

2. Lemon juice – 2 tbsp.

3. Sugar – 1 tbsp.

Here I used it in fried dough.

Put the fruit, lemon juice and sugar on medium, and cook until it’s cooked, and the juices have reduced a little. Put aside to cool down. You can put it in the fridge if you want it less runny. Also, if you like it sweeter, you can add more sugar to your preference. This came out not as sweet.
