Halloumotis (Stuffed Bread Rolls)

For the Dough

• • 500 gr. village flour
• • 1 teaspoon dry yeast
• • 1 teaspoon sugar
• • 1 teaspoon salt
• • 125 ml olive oil
• • 125 ml fresh orange juice
• • 185 ml water

For the Filling

• • 100 gr. finely chopped onion
• • 1 tablespoon olive oil
• • 400 gr. halloumi cheese, cubed
• • 100 gr. fresh salted anari cheese, crumbled
• • 2 tablespoons mint, finely chopped

For the Topping

• • 1 beaten egg
• • Sesame seeds

1. 1. Place all the dough ingredients into the mixer bowl in the order listed. Knead until a soft dough forms. Place it in a greased bowl and let it rise for 1-2 hours until it at least doubles in volume.
2. 2. Put the onion in a pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté gently until golden brown. Put all the filling ingredients into a bowl and add the sautéed onion. Mix to combine.
3. 3. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle approximately 30x40 cm. Sprinkle each piece with 1/4 of the filling and roll it up into a log.
4. 4. Join the two ends of the log with a little egg. Make 6 small slits, about 1 centimeter deep, all around the 'halloumotis' (stuffed bread). Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
5. 5. Bake at 180°C on fan mode for 40-45 minutes.
