Olive Rolls from Cyprus
This recipe was given to me by a friends mom - Mrs Demetriades who still lives in Cyprus
4C AP flour
2T baking powder
Sift together and add to mixer bowl with dough hook - stir to blend
Add 1C oil - whatever you prefer
I used canola and blend again
Measure 1 1/4C milk and start to add slowly with machine running until dough comes together
It is not a sticky wet dough - oily dough and you may not need all the milk, but save it for brushing the tops of rolls
Set in fridge for 30min covered
Olive Filling
1 3/4C pitted kalamata olives
1 medium onion chopped fine (use machine if you have)
4oz feta cheese crumbled well
2 handfulls of dried spearmint or peppermint crumbled well
With food processor running and grating or slicing blade used, start adding olives
You will have a mix of paste and pieces
Add olives and above filling mix in bowl
Shape dough into an oval and cut into 10 pieces
Roll each piece (one at a time) and spread filling to 1inch of edges
Roll into cylinder
Brush with remaining milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds
Bake on silpat lined (or parchment paper) cookie sheet
Bake at 350' for 50min
May be frozen after cooling
