Turkish sheep cheese rolls – family recipe

Mix the yogurt and oil, add the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Now mix the flour with the baking powder, add it to the yogurt-oil-egg white mixture, and mix everything together. The dough shouldn’t be too firm. It should feel like an earlobe (that’s what they say in Turkey). Version 1: Crumble the feta cheese and mix it with the finely chopped parsley. Stir this mixture into the dough. Now form balls from the dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame or black cumin seeds. Version 2: Crumble the feta cheese more finely and mix it with the finely chopped parsley. If the feta cheese is too crumbly, you can make it more pliable with a little milk. Now flatten a ball of dough on the countertop and add the filling with a teaspoon. Carefully close it and form it into a ball. Place these balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame or black cumin seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C until they’re nicely browned. They taste best served warm with a cup of Turkish or black tea. They also make a great finger food. My family is always grateful for these rolls, even on longer trips.
