Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
1/2 lb all-purpose flour
1 pkt dry-active yeast
1 tsp salt
2 tbl granulated sugar
2 tbl olive oil
filling
8 oz cheddar cheese
4 oz mozzarella
1 tbl all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbl crushed dried mint
4 x eggs, lightly beaten
glaze
1 x egg, beaten
Instructions:
Instructions: Sift the flour, yeast, salt and sugar into a large bowl. Add the oil and enough water to make a firm dough. Knead at least 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 hour. Meanwhile make the filling.

Coarsely grate the cheeses. Add flour and baking powder. Gradually stir in the mint and beaten eggs until you have a stiff paste.

Preheat the oven
to 450 F. Divide the dough into egg size pieces. Roll into 4 " discs.

Put a generous tablespoon of filling in the center of each disc and spread slightly. Pull the dough up at 4 points to make a square. Press the corners together to seal and let stand 15-20 minutes. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds over. Bake 12-15 minutes until the cheese filling has puffed up and the pastry is golden. Serve warm or cold.
