Steps

20 minutes

1

In 1/2 cup of warm milk add sugar and yeast and keep for 8-10 minutes to activate.
2

In a big mixing bowl pour the flour. Add salt and butter and mix.
3

Make a hole in the centre of the flour and pour the broomed yeast.
4

Mix slowly with a spatula to incorporate.
5

Now slowly add warm water to make a soft dough.
6

Rub some oil to the dough and cover it.
7

Keep aside in a warm place for about 2 hour or till dough becomes double in size.
8

Meanwhile prepare the filling by combining chopped parsley, mint and oregano/thyme with feta cheese.
9

After 2 hours or when the dough becomes double in size take out in a work place or kitchen platform and knead well by stretching and folding method.Knead for atleast 10 minutes.
10

Divide the dough in half. Take the first half and roll into a rectangle.
11

Spread half of the filling in the rectangle then roll to form a log.
12

Cut the log into 1.5 to 2 inches pieces, or less according to your desire. Then brush with milk.
13

Using a wooden stick, or back side of your laddle, make an indentation in the middle of each piece. This is necessary to give the shape I like. You can make other shape also.
14

Place all the fatayer in a baking tray and rest again for about 20 minutes.
15

After 20 minutes bake them for about 20 minutes (until light golden brown)in a 200 degree C preheated oven.

Let them cool down and enjoy!!
