Ingredients
Dough:
- 3 cups flour
- ¼ tsp. dry yeast
- ¼ tsp. sugar
- ½ tsp. salt
- 1 stick butter/margarine (100 g)
- 1¼ cups water
Filling:
- 9 oz. quark creamy soft cheese
- 5 oz. feta cheese (grated)
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp. flour
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
Make the Dough:
- Place the flour into a large bowl
- Add the yeast, butter, sugar, and water over the flour
- Use your hand to knead the dough until it becomes soft and smooth
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes
Make the Filling:
- Place the cream cheese into a deep dish
- Add the grated feta cheese, egg, flour, and salt
- Mix well until everything is combined
Prepare the Sambousek:
- Dust the work surface with flour
- Roll out the dough evenly
- Cut out circles using a cookie cutter (a small bowl can also do the trick)
- Fill each circle with a scoop of the filling mixture (about one tablespoon)
- Close each circle well, forming a crescent shape (braiding the edges gives the Sambousek a cool shape)
- Place the Sambousek over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Brush each Sambousek with egg wash and sprinkle with sesame seeds
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 20 minutes until golden
- Serve and enjoy
