Sfeeha (Savory or Cheese Pies)

Mix the warm water with half of the flour and the dry active yeast.

Add the sugar and mix until an elastic batter forms.

Add the butter and salt, and mix until it reaches the consistency of pancake batter.

Add the remaining flour and mix until a smooth dough is obtained.

Cover the dough and let it rise for 20 minutes.

Prepare the meat and cheese fillings.

Roll out the dough and cut into round shapes.

Place the filling in the center of the disk and close the edges into 3 points, forming a triangle shape.

Brush the tops of the sfeeha with a beaten egg yolk.

Bake in a preheated oven at 220 degrees (about 425°F) for 15 minutes.
