Seriously, I have a weakness for anything wrapped in dough! So, I have my own version of these melt-in-your-mouth cheese pies with yoghurt made dough and a mixture of cheeses.
I made them in swirls to make sure that you can enjoy the saltiness of the cheese combination in every bite.
Honestly, I have a weakness for anything wrapped in dough, so I could eat these any time!
INGREDIENTS:
for the dough
6 cups all purpose flour
1 cup corn oil
1 cup strained yoghurt
1 cup milk
2 tsp BP
1 tsp salt
for the filling
1 cup halloumi cheese
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup fetta cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup mint finely chopped
a pinch of salt and pepper
METHOD:
for the dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and BP
Add the milk, oil and yogurt
Knead by hand for 10 mins or with the dough hook in a mixer for 5 mins until formed into a ball
Put the dough back in the mixing bowl, then cover the bowl with oiled cling film. Leave to rise for an hour in a warm place
Meanwhile... make the filling
In a bowl mix all the cheeses, dry mint, salt and pepper
Add the eggs beaten with the milk (leave some for brushing the pies)
Heat oven to 190C degrees
Line two baking trays with cooking paper
When dough is ready, cut the dough into six pieces and roll it out on a floured surface into rectangles
Spread the cheese mixture all over each rectangle (one at a time) and roll up the dough like a swiss roll
Slightly press the edges so it sticks down
With a sharp knife, cut pieces approximately 2 cm each
Lightly brush all over with the egg/milk mixture
Bake 25-30 mins until golden
Leave to cool in the tray for 5 min and then place it on a cooling rack to completely cool down
Tips:
1. For the filling you can use any cheese you like
2. It is better to use fresh mint but if you don't have, dry mint can also do the work
