GREEK PEINIRLI

Steps:

• Warm the milk to make it slightly tepid and put in a mixing bowl, now add the honey and dissolve it, then add the yeast and dissolve it.
• Mix the 2 types of flour together and then add 200g of this mixture to the milk and mix well.
• Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes, to activate the yeast and rise.
• Put the remaining flour in a large bowl and add the salt and melted butter.
• Beat the egg in a little tepid water and add to the mixture.
• Add the flour and yeast mixture to this mixture and knead well, adding some tepid water to make a non-sticky pliable dough.
• Cover the bowl with cling film and leave in a warm place for approximately 1 hour until it has doubled in size.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and roll each ball out flat and give them an oval shape.
• Spread the grated cheese lengthwise in the centre of each one. You can sprinkle a few leaves of oregano on top if you wish.
• If you are using ham and bacon, put the slice of ham at the bottom, the cheese on top of it and the slice of bacon on top of that.
• Looking at the dough with the oval-shape horizontal in front of you, take the top left and bottom right corners and fold them in a little bit toward the centre.
• Then take the top right and bottom left corners and do the same.
• Pinch the two ends of the oval together so that you get the boat-like shape.
• Cut the 150g butter into 8 equal pieces and place in the centre of each.
• Sprinkle a shallow oven dish with some flour, place the 8 peinirli on it and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Then put them in a pre heated oven at 250 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes, until they are golden brown.
• Serve warm.
