Ingredients
- 1½ lb plain flour
- 1 packet yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsps sugar
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- Filling:
- 8 oz cheddar cheese
- 4 oz halloumi or mozzarella
- 1 tbsp plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp crushed dried mint
- 4 eggs, lightly beaten
- To Finish:
- 1 egg, beaten

Directions
Make the dough by sifting the flour into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast, salt and sugar. Add the oil and enough water to make a firm dough.
Knead for at least 5 mins. Put into a polythene bag and leave to rise in a warm place for an hour.
Make filling. Coarsely grate the cheeses, add flour, and baking powder then gradually stir in the mint and beaten eggs until you have a stiffish paste.
Preheat the oven to 230° C. Divide the dough into egg size peices and roll into 4 " discs. Put a generous tbsp of filling in the centre of each disc and spread slightly.
Pull the dough up at 4 points to make a square. Press the corners together to seal and leave to rise.
Just before baking, brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds over. Bake for 12-15 mins until the cheese filling has puffed up and the pastry is golden. Serve warm or cold.
