Ingredients
- 250mL milk of choice
- 15g dried active yeast
- 2 tsp coconut sugar
- 500g white spelt flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 75mL olive oil
- Filling
- 200g feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- Glaze
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsp paprika
- Sesame seeds
Method
- Preheat oven to 180ºC. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Start by making the starter for the dough. Warm the milk in a saucepan, add the dried yeast and coconut sugar and mix to combine. Set aside for the yeast to bubble up.
- Add the flour and sea salt to a bowl and mix to combine.
- Pour in the warm milk mixture along with the olive oil. Combine until it’s formed into a smooth dough.
- Knead the dough for 5–8 mins then place the dough into a floured bowl, cover and keep in a warm place for 1 hour until the dough has doubled in size.
- Combine the ingredients for the filling in a bowl and set aside.
- Divide the dough into 5 equal balls. Flatten the first ball onto a floured surface and roll the dough out into a large circle, approx. 5mm thick.
- Cut the dough circle into 8 wedges, like you would cut a pizza.
- Place a teaspoon of the feta cheese filling at the bottom of each wedge. Take each corner of the wedge’s bottom and pull the dough over the cheese and press together. Roll the dough towards the top of the wedge, creating a croissant-like shape, then place on the baking paper.
- Repeat the process until you have used up all the dough.
- Brush each roll with the beaten egg, sprinkle with paprika and sesame seeds. Bake in the oven for 35 mins or until light golden brown.
