Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Skillet or frying pan
- Damp cloth (for covering dough while rising)
- Rolling Pin
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 250 ml warm water
- 100 ml plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 large eggs
- 150 g feta cheese crumbled
- 100 g mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, yogurt, and olive oil. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place it back in the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6-8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the feta, mozzarella, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Place a spoonful of the egg and cheese mixture on one half of each rolled-out dough circle. Fold the other half over and seal the edges by pressing them together.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter or add oil. Cook each stuffed bazlama for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding finely chopped chili peppers or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the filling.
If you don’t have parsley, try substituting with fresh dill or chives.
You can experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar or gouda, for varied flavors.
