Equipment

  • 1 Electronic digital scales
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • Baking Tray
  • Pastry Card  optional
  • Parchment Paper Optional

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams Ready Made Puff Pastry

For the filling

  • 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
  • 75 grams green olives, strong and very finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon chilli pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sumac
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg preferably freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180 C [350F] gas mark 4. Cover a baking tray with parchment paper [NOTE 1]
  • In a bowl, mix together the filling ingredients with a fork
  • Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3 equal pieces.
    Along the long edge of one of the pieces, pile a third of the filling in a strip about 1cm [about 1/2 inch] wide, then roll the pastry and filling over to the opposite side, creating a long log. Repeat with the other two pieces of pastry and the remainder filling.
    Cut each log into 10 - 15 equal pieces
  • Transfer them on to the baking tray, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for 15 - 25 minutes or until golden.

Notes

  1. I have made this recipe quite a few times, and I put the oven to 190C fan, for 12-15 minutes.
