Cheese Sambousek step by step
- In Food processor or in stand up mixer, put flour, salt and sugar and mix..
- Add egg and melted butter and then gradually add water until a ball forms..
- Rest dough for 30 minutes in oil coated bowl and cover it, so the dough doesn't dry..
- In the meanwhile, prepare stuffing: In a bowl mix mozzarella cheese, parsley, mint, salt, pepper and olive oil..
- After the dough had rested dust some flour on a hard surface. Do not use a lot of flour because you want the dough to still stick to each other when forming the crescents..
- Form the dough into a big round circle and using a cover of a Tupperware or anything round that has edges, cut circles through the dough..
- Take the irregular shaped dough out and form a ball, then let it rest for about 15 minutes..
- Now put some stuffing in the circle slightly to one side but keep it away from the edges..
- Then close the dough as if forming a semi circle and then with holding the bottom part and pulling it up with a twisting motion all the way until it closes. You can also use a fork dipped in egg wash to seal the edges, although I don't know how the cheese would hold in there while frying..

- Heat fryer to 350 degrees and deep fry pies until light golden brown..
