Method of Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Mix Yeast and Water
- In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1 tsp of yeast in 2 cups of warm water.
- Add Flour and Salt
- Gradually add 5 cups of all-purpose flour and 1 tsp of salt to the yeast mixture. Knead until you have a soft dough that does not stick to your hands.
- Knead the Dough
- Continue kneading the dough on a floured counter for 7-8 minutes until it comes together smoothly.
- Divide and Rest
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and place them on a floured baking tray. Cover and let them rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2: Roll and Grease the Dough
- Roll Out the Dough
- Using flour, roll out each piece of dough as thinly as possible. Spread softened butter on top of each rolled-out dough.
- Fold and Layer
- Fold the opposite edges of the dough over each other, grease again, and then fold the other opposite edges to form a square.
- Layer Dough Pieces
- Roll out the second piece of dough, grease it, and place the first folded square dough in the middle. Fold in the same way to obtain a square shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough pieces to form 2 square pieces of dough in total.
- Freeze
- Cover the prepared dough squares with an airtight bag and leave them in the deep freezer for 25 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
- Cook Onions
- For the stuffing, chop the onions into slices and fry them in olive oil until they soften.
- Add Spices
- When the onions are soft, add the chili pepper, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Cook for another 3 minutes, stirring. Set aside to cool.
Step 4: Assemble the Pastries
- Roll Out the Dough
- Flour the rested dough and roll it out to a half-centimeter thick rectangle. Cut the dough in half and then slice it into 3-finger-thick strips.
- Add Filling
- Put some of the onion stuffing in the middle of each strip. Roll up each strip from the long side and wrap it around itself to form a spiral.
Step 5: Bake the Pastries
- Prepare for Baking
- Place the pastries on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Brush them with egg yolk.
- Bake
- Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the pastries for 45-50 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
