Ingredients
- 1 cup hot water, divided
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
Steps
- Mix 1/3 cup hot water and yeast together in a small bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Mix in flour, powdered milk, sugar, olive oil, baking powder, and salt while adding remaining water gradually to make a combined dough. Leave in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the stuffing: Heat olive oil in a pan. Add onion, then add spinach and stir-fry for a few minutes. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with lemon juice. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Take small portions of the risen dough and roll into small, flat circles. Fill each circle with about 1 teaspoon spinach mixture and fold into a triangle as follows: fold one edge of the circle to the middle, then the next, then fold the third edge over the top to shape a triangle. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush each piece with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
