Steps

1

Combine all the dough ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl if kneading by hand. Add the butter last and knead until the dough comes together.
2

Mix all the filling ingredients together (I also added a handful of mixed yellow cheeses).
3

Divide the dough into 18-20 pieces and roll each into a round sheet. Add the filling, fold over, and trim the edges with a pizza cutter.
4

Seal the edges tightly with a fork as shown in the video.
5

Place on a baking sheet and, without waiting, brush with beaten egg. If you like, sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
6

Bake in a preheated oven at 350-375°F (180-190°C) with convection for 20 minutes. The cheese pies are ready to eat or store in the freezer (after they have cooled).
