Ingredients:
Yeast Mixture
3 Tsp. Yeast
1 Ounce Water
1 Tsp. Sugar
Dough Mixture
9 Cups All Purpose Flour
Prepared Yeast
1 Room Temp. Egg
3 Cups Water
1/3 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 1/2 Tsp. Salt
Filling
1 1/2 Packages Cottage Cheese
3"x3"x1" Chunk of Feta Cheese
4 Eggs
1 Tsp. Salt
Step 1: Combine yeast, sugar and water and let rest until bubbly (roughly 10 minutes).
Step 2: Create a well in the flour in a large bowl and combine with yeast, egg, water, salt, and oil. Mix in a bowl until combined, and then turn out onto a cutting board to knead. Knead by hand for 10-15 minutes. Separate dough into 3 sections. Oil 3 pans for the dough to rest, place dough in pans and oil the tops of the dough so that it does not form a crust. Place each pan in a large plastic bag and allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes.
Step 3: Combine the cottage cheese, feta, eggs, and salt. Mix until combined.
Step 4: Lay out a cotton tablecloth on a large table and lightly flour the surface. Turn out the dough on the table. Press air out of the dough. Form a circle by hand, making sure the dough is even. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into an even round. Continue to roll the dough as thin as possible, then lift the dough little by little allowing gravity to stretch it while turning frequently. Stretch the dough over the table as far as it can go, it should be translucent. Make sure the edges are thin. Sprinkle melted butter over the dough and brush it evenly. Fold the dough into thirds, sprinkling butter over the first fold. Slice in half lengthwise. Using a kleenex as a guide for size, slice the dough into squares. Spoon filling into the centre of the square, spreading it out evenly. Fold over dough to completely overlap the centre, and fold over both ends to cover the centre. Place them in a parchment lined pan, brushing the tops with butter. Repeat 2 more times with the remaining dough. Let rest for 1.5 - 2 hours.
Step 5: Place them in the oven at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and place a tea towel over the tray and allow them to cool.
