Makes 16 cheese pies:
For the dough:
4 cups all purpose flour
1 cup olive oil
​1 cup Greek Yogurt (strained yogurt)
1 egg
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

For the filling:
2 cups crumbled feta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
freshly ground pepper to taste
​about 1/4 cup finely chopped mint
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 egg, slightly beaten
​1/4 cup yogurt

For the egg wash: 1 egg yolk and 2 tablespoons water
sesame seeds for garnish

​Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, 160 degrees Celsius.

​To make the dough combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a large bowl and whisk well to combine.
​In another large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, yogurt, and egg. Whisk well to incorporate all the ingredients.
​Slowly add the flour mixture and keep whisking until the mixture thickens.
​Mix the rest of the flour in using your hands, Do not over mix or the dough will become tough.
​Set aside to rest 5-10 minutes covered with a clean kitchen towel.
​To make the filling, combine the feta cheese, mozzarella, yogurt, and the beaten egg. Mix well and add ground pepper. Mix in the fresh mint and dried oregano to combine.
​Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and prepare the egg wash by whisking together the egg yolk with the water until smooth.

​Cut the dough into two equal portions. Cut each portion into 8 pieces.
Roll each portion out into a ball.
​Gently roll out each ball into a 5 inch round circle. You can do this using your fingertips to press the dough gently out into a circle. Use a rolling pin if you prefer doing it that way but do not add any flour to the dough otherwise it will become dry and tough.
​Place a spoonful of the cheese mixture onto the rolled out circles and fold over.
​Gently press the edges together to seal.
​Place the pies onto a baking sheet. 8 on each tray.
Use a fork to press down the edges to create a decorative design.
​Brush the tops of the pies with the egg was and spring some sesame seeds on top.

​Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden.
Halfway through baking, rotate the trays. Place the bottom tray on the top rack and the top tray on the bottom for even baking.

​Serve warm.
​Enjoy!
