  • Feta or paneer – ½ cup, crumbled
  • Black pepper – ½ tsp
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp


Method

  1. Mix flour, yeast, sugar, salt, oil, and water to form a soft dough. Rest for 1 hour.
  2. Sauté onion and spinach until wilted. Cool and mix with cheese and pepper.
  3. Roll the dough into an oval, add filling, and pinch edges to form a boat shape.
