Pogaca - Turkish Pastries With Feta Cheese

For a taster of Turkey, here is pastries with feta cheese and parsley

150g unsalted butter or baking margarine, left at room temperature for at least an hour to soften
70ml extra virgin olive oil
2 cups flour
1 egg
2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

1) For the filling, mix:
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

2) Mix all the ingredients for the dough in a deep bowl. Using your hands would be best. Take a tablespoonful of dough and roll between your palms, then press to form a circle about 5mm thick. Put 1 teaspoon of the filling inside. Close it up carefully pinching together the ends.

3) Put the pastries seam down on a dry tray. To achieve golden coloour, brush each pastry with egg yolk mixed with little milk.

4) Bake at 190 degrees Celcuis until lightly blowned/golden, which is about 20-30 minutes. 

Outcome is about 20 pieces. Dough will benefit greatly from being prepared the night before and chilled in the fridge.
