Ingredients
Dough:
1 cup oil
3/4 cups cold water
1/4 tsp. salt
4 1/2 cups flour
Filling:
3 cups water
1 tbs. butter (substitute margarine or oil)
1 cup rice
1/2 cup cottage cheese, small curd
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1 tsp. salt
3 eggs
Directions
- Prepare the filling: Bring water and butter to a boil. Lower heat and add the rice. Stir and cover the pot and cook rice until water is absorbed. Cool rice and add the cheeses, salt and eggs. Set aside.
- Prepare the dough: Mix together oil, water and salt. Gradually add flour until it forms a large ball.
- Take a small amount of dough and roll into a golf ball size, then gently flatter on a clean surface.
- Add small amount of rice and cheese filling to the center and fold over the dough, pinching the edges to close.
- Press the edges with a fork to give it a nice textured border.
- Bake at 400 degrees (F) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
