Spinach Fatayer

Ingredients:

For the Dough

- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1-2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons powdered milk
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups warm milk or warm water

For the Filling

- 40 ounces spinach
- ½ tablespoon salt for chopped spinach
- 1 teaspoon salt for the chopped onion
- 2 red onions
- ¼ cup sumac
- 1 lemon
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt for the filling, to taste
- jalapeno pepper optional

Preparation:

To Form the 10 Minute Dough
Start by mixing 2 cups of all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, sugar, baking powder, powdered milk, and salt. Then, add warm water or warm milk to a large bowl.
Mix them all together. Cover it, and let it sit in a warm place for 10-15 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour and the oil to the dough. Mix them well.
Knead it for about 5-10 minutes. It will come together really quickly. For more details, check the Ten Minute Multi-Use Dough recipe.
To Make the Filling
Roughly chop the spinach and add ½ tablespoon salt to it. Then, put the chopped spinach in a colander and mix it with your hands to squeeze out all the liquid.
Finely chop your onions and add 1 teaspoon salt to them. Then, put them in a separate colander to squeeze the liquid out as well.
Once you squeeze the liquids, mix the spinach and onions together along with the sumac, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt to taste. Add jalapeno pepper if desired and mix.
To Assemble and Bake Fatayer
Oil your surface and your hands lightly
Spread your desired amount of dough and add the spinach mixture to the middle and spread it out leaving a little space on the edges.
Fold the two ends of the dough one on top of the other. Then, fold the third side of the top of the first two. To make sure it is tightly closed, you can pinch the edges of the dough together. Lay the seam side down on a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 450 for 10-15 minutes or until golden, and enjoy!
