作り方

手順

1
Combine all-purpose flour, olive oil, warm water, and salt in a large bowl.
約2 分
調理のヒント： Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to help the dough come together smoothly.
2
Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.
約1 分
3
Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
約9 分
調理のヒント： The dough should feel soft and pliable, not sticky.
4
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
約30 分
調理のヒント： Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll.
5
While the dough rests, prepare the filling by crumbling the mizithra cheese into a bowl.
約2 分
6
Add sugar, egg yolk, ground cinnamon, and lemon zest to the mizithra cheese.
約1 分
7
Mix the filling ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
約2 分
8
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
約10 分
9
Divide the rested dough into 12 equal pieces.
約2 分
10
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each piece of dough into a thin circle, approximately 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) in diameter.
約8 分
調理のヒント： Aim for thin dough, but not so thin that it tears easily.
11
Place a spoonful of the cheese filling in the center of each dough circle.
約3 分
調理のヒント： Do not overfill, or it will be hard to seal the pastries.
12
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, creating pleats around the circumference, leaving the center of the filling exposed.
約5 分
調理のヒント： Pinch the pleats firmly to ensure they stay closed during baking.
13
Transfer the kalitsounia to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
約1 分
14
Brush the dough edges with beaten egg.
約1 分
調理のヒント： This gives them a golden shine.
15
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the kalitsounia are golden brown.
約20 分
16
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
約5 分
17
Drizzle with honey before serving, if desired.
約1 分
調理のヒント： Honey adds a traditional touch of sweetness.
