Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour and a pinch of salt.
  2. Gradually add water while kneading until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, crumble feta and mozzarella together. Add a little milk to make a spreadable mixture.
  4. Roll out the dough into a thin sheet. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
  5. Roll the dough tightly, then cut into individual portions. Place on a baking sheet.
  6. Brush with beaten egg and milk mixture. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving.
