Ingredients

  • 3 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1 cup Warm water
  • about 450 g Fresh spinach (chopped)

  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the olive oil and warm water. Mix until a dough forms.
  2. 2Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  3. 3While the dough is rising, prepare the spinach filling. In a large bowl, combine the chopped spinach, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. 4Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. 5Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 10.16-12.7 cm in diameter.
  6. 6Place a spoonful of the spinach filling in the center of each circle. Pinch the edges of the dough together to form a triangle shape, leaving a small opening in the center.
  7. 7Place the spinach pies on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. 8Let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
