Feta Rolls
November 22nd, 2006
These are the feta rolls I made for the Sacramento Area Food Bloggers/Writers get together. Sorry for posting the recipe real late! Recipe was taken from another Turkish blogger who only posts in, you guessed: Turkish. So, now with her permission, I am translating the recipe:
(makes about 12 - 14 rolls)
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup extra light olive oil
- 1 egg (yolk for the egg brush on top, white to be used in the dough)
- 20gr fresh yeast (or 1Tbs active dry yeast)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- Enough flour to make a soft, pliable dough (about 3.5 cups all purpose)
Filling:
- 75 gr butter
- 100 gr feta cheese
- parsely, if desired
Mix the yeast with warm water. Add warm milk, oilive oil, salt, sugar and egg white to the mix and keep adding flour until it is soft, and no more sticky. Divide into 8 pieces immediately. Roll first piece as big as a dinner plate and spread butter on it. Roll out the second piece, top the first one, spread butter on it as well. Do this for the rest of the 6 pieces, leaving the last one without the butter top. Now, roll this stack of dough to make about 60 - 70 cm in diameter (quite big, I could not do it that big.) Cut into wedges and put filling in the wider edge, roll them over to make individual rolls. Let rest for 30 - 40 mins, brush with egg yolk and bake in preheated 180C (~360F) oven until color changes.

I really enjoy your blog.
Do you think these cute rolls would go well with the pepper sauce you posted right before it?

Hi F,
Those look absolutely wonderful…
You make such good looking things, I’m wondering what you made for Thanksgiving 8^)

Thanks guys; it takes some time to make these but the result is quite good. Cakegrrl can tell you ;)
lolalilu; you can use that as a dip if you like, but I think they are best with a fresh brewed tea.
Aja; all I made for Thanksgiving was appetizers. ;) Visiting my husband’s parents, enjoying new mom’s cooking/baking was quite good.

Hi,
The rolls look wonderful. I was wondering what would be the measure of water to mix the yeast in and the baking time in the oven.
please let me know at your convenience.
Thanks

Neema, 1/4 cup of water would be enough. Baking time was about 30 mins or so if my memory does not fail me. I hope you like the taste, too.

When i dont have enough time to make dough from scratch i use crescent rolls dough. Even if it is not the same thong with fresh home made dough, saves the day :).
