Preparation

• Mix the dough In a large bowl combine flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add yogurt, warm water, and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• First rise Cover and proof 25 minutes in a warm spot until slightly puffy. This is a quick dough, it should feel lighter but not fully doubled.
• Make the filling In a bowl combine feta, mozzarella, egg, parsley, mint, sumac, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined. Chill 10 minutes so it firms up and becomes easier to portion.
• Preheat and prep the tray Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F). Lightly oil a 30×40 cm tray (12×16 in) and line with baking paper.
• Divide the dough Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 16 pieces, about 45 g each (1.6 oz). Roll into tight balls. Cover and rest 10 minutes so the dough stretches without snapping back.
• Shape the rounds Roll each ball into a 10–11 cm circle (4–4⅓ in), keeping the center slightly thinner than the edges.
• Fill and seal Place 1 heaped tablespoon of filling in the center. Fold into a half-moon. Press edges firmly, then crimp with a fork. For extra security, pinch once more along the seam so nothing leaks.
• Egg wash and seed coat Whisk egg yolk with milk. Brush each sambousek. Sprinkle sesame and nigella on top.
• Bake Bake at 210°C (410°F) for 16–18 minutes until deep golden and crisp. Cool 5 minutes on a rack so the bottom stays crunchy.
