Grandma’s Ingredients
For the Fluffy Dough:
- 300ml warm whole milk (be careful, it can’t be hot!)
- 1 sachet of dry yeast (10g)
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 100ml of vegetable oil
- 500g of all-purpose flour (no baking powder)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
For Assembling:
- Seasoned chicken filling (whatever kind you like best)
- 1 egg yolk for brushing
- Extra flour for dusting
How to Make It, With Love
- Let’s wake up the yeast: In a large bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast, sugar, and oil. Stir with a wooden spoon, with love!
- Time for the flour: Add the flour little by little, stirring each time. When it’s firmer, add the salt.
- Now let’s knead: Place the dough on a floured surface and knead for 10 little minutes. Sing a song while you do it – time flies faster!
- The dough needs to rest: Form a ball, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rest for about 1 hour. It will grow all happy and puffy!
- Time for the fun part: Divide the dough into 20 equal little balls. The children love this part!
- Shaping with care: Roll out each ball with a rolling pin, place the filling in the center, and close by pulling three little points together to form a small triangle.
- Almost there: Place the esfihas on a greased baking tray, let them rise for another half hour in the turned-off oven.
- To make them golden: Brush them with the egg yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes. Until they’re beautifully golden!
Grandma’s Serving Tip
Serve them still warm, with a little lemon squeezed on top! And remember: the best seasoning is the whole family gathered around the table.
