Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preparing the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped onions, green onion leaves, chopped spinach, and chopped parsley.
- Add kefir, water, salt, egg white, and mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Gradually add the wheat flour while continuing to mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Incorporate a teaspoon of butter and a tablespoon of vegetable oil into the dough and knead again until well mixed.
- Divide the dough into 9 equal portions and shape them into balls.
Preparing the Filling:
- In a separate bowl, mix the red pepper flakes, salt, black pepper, cumin, mint, and hot or sweet pepper (if using) to create a flavorful spice mix.
- Add a tablespoon of kefir and a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the spice mix to create a paste-like filling.
Assembling the Pastries:
- Take one dough ball and roll it out into a thin circle.
- Place a spoonful of the prepared filling in the center of the dough circle.
- Fold the dough in half to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing firmly.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls and filling.
Baking the Pastries:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the stuffed pastries on a baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix an egg yolk with kefir and vegetable oil, then brush this mixture on top of the pastries.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and black cumin seeds on top of each pastry for added flavor.
- Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
