Recipe Steps

Preparation

Knead the dough until it reaches an earlobe-soft consistency, then divide it into 20 pieces, each slightly larger than a walnut.

Roll each piece into a circle about the size of a dessert plate. Stack the first 10 sheets, brushing each layer with oil. Roll this stack out to fit the baking tray.

Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough. Stack and roll out the remaining 10 sheets in the same way and place them over the filling.

Whisk the yogurt with a little oil and spread it over the top.

Bake at 180°C (356°F) for 50 minutes.

Once removed from the oven, cover with a damp cloth to prevent drying out. Let it cool slightly before cutting and serving.
