Ingredients
- Dough:
- 3 tsp of active dry yeast
- 1 ½ tsp of white sugar
- 2 tbsp of warm milk
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour (adjust as necessary)
- 1 cup of whole wheat flour
- ½ cup of warm water (adjust as necessary)
- ¼ cup of vegetable oil
- ½ tsp of salt
- 1 tsp of salted butter (adjust as necessary)
- Filling:
- 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- ½ bunch of freshly chopped parsley
- 1 tsp of salt
- ½ tsp of ground black pepper
- ½ tsp of chili powder
- Coating:
- 2 tbsp of milk (adjust as necessary)
- 1 tsp of poppy seeds (to taste)
Step 1
Begin by dissolving yeast and sugar in warm milk within a mixing bowl. Allow the mixture to rest until the yeast activates and forms a velvety foam, typically taking around 5 minutes.
Step 2
Incorporate a blend of all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, water, vegetable oil, salt, and the yeast concoction into the stand mixer bowl equipped with a hook attachment. Knead the mixture until it reaches a pliable consistency, adjusting with extra flour for a softer texture or warm water for a firmer one. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 45 to 50 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously butter a baking tray to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Prepare a delightful mixture of feta cheese, parsley, salt, pepper, and chili powder, ensuring the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Next, knead the dough for a couple of minutes before dividing it into 12 uniform segments. Shape each piece into a ball and flatten them into 2- to 3-inch circles using your hands or a rolling pin. Spoon a portion of the cheese blend into the center of each circle, folding the edges upwards to create a secure bundle. Place them on the greased baking tray with the folded sides facing down, then brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with poppy seeds for an extra touch of flavor.
Step 6
Bake the assembled pastries on the top oven rack until they turn a lovely golden hue, typically around 30 to 32 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers to keep your freshly baked pogaças moist and flavorful for longer periods of time.
- 2. To maintain the flakiness of your pogaças, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
