Method

1. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients with the vinegar and oil and rub them together.
2. Add the water gradually and knead until you get a soft dough.
3. Cover it with plastic wrap and a cloth over it, and let it rest in a warm place for at least one hour.
4. Start preparing the filling: pick over the spinach, wash it well, drain it, then chop it.
5. Place the chopped spinach in a pot over the heat and stir until it releases its water and wilts, without cooking it.
6. Drain off the water and squeeze it well.
7. Finely chop the onion and sauté it in a little oil over the heat until it softens slightly.
8. Add the spinach to the onion once it softens, then add the pepper paste and the rest of the filling ingredients. Stir briefly before turning off the heat.
9. When the filling has cooled, add the sumac and mix.
10. Roll out the dough and cut it into circles of the desired thickness, then seal them into triangles or shape as desired.
11. Bake the spinach pies in the oven until cooked through, then brown them from the top.
12. Remove them from the oven and brush them with a little olive oil.
