Ingredients

• 300 g Whole wheat flour
• 150 g All-purpose flour
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 10 g Sugar
• 5 g Salt
• 30 ml Olive oil
• 240 ml Warm water
• 200 g Low-fat feta cheese
• 10 g Black sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, crumble the low-fat feta cheese into small pieces.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 8

Flatten each piece of dough into a disc shape, place a portion of the crumbled feta cheese in the center, and fold the dough over to seal the cheese inside.

Step 9

Shape each filled dough piece into an oval or circular form, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Sprinkle the black sesame seeds over the tops of the kaak, pressing gently to ensure they adhere.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the kaak are golden brown.

Step 12

Let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
