The tastiest spinach pies, with a tried-and-tested homemade recipe explained in detail!

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • Dough
  • half a kilo all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water, or as needed
  • Mixing
  • Filling
  • A large bunch of fresh spinach leaves
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fine sumac
  • 1 very small spoon of lemon salt
  • Salt
  • Vegetable oil
  • A pinch of fine hot pepper

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Mix all the ingredients well, then add the water gradually until a soft dough forms.
  2. Let the dough rest for half an hour, then start working with it. It will rise as you shape the pies.
  3. Wash the spinach well, then drain it and chop it coarsely.
  4. Sprinkle the spinach with a little salt and rub it with your hands until all the moisture comes out.
  5. Place the spinach in a bowl with the onion, then add the sumac, lemon salt, oil, salt to taste, and hot pepper.
  6. Mix well and strain the filling in a sieve before stuffing the pies.
  7. There is no need to brush the pies with anything, not even oil. Place the spinach pies in a preheated oven at 200 degrees.
  8. Bake the pies from the bottom first, then from the top until browned.
