Today I share with you a very special recipe of Arabic bread which is called Cheese Fatayer. This is also called Cheese Pie and this recipe is made and eaten with great fondness in Middle Eastern countries. The best thing about this is that you can enjoy it in Sehri as well as in Iftar.

For this recipe, we do not need any special ingredients and there is no much complexity, it is prepared very easily. It is just the time you need to knead the dough and some more time is required to bake them, then you must try this recipe and

Do not forget to give your feedback in the comment section. Assalam Alaikum, I am Maria Khan Welcome to my channel, Today i am here with another interesting recipe. Let’s do Bismillah. I have taken 150 ml Luke warm water. I am adding one table spoon of sugar and

One teaspoon of instant dry yeast, which is approximately 6 grams. After including the yeast, I will add a little oil in it, about 1 tablespoon. After mixing it, we will keep our yeast to rise. When our yeast blooms well, we will use it to prepare the dough

You can see that our yeast should be very foamy. Now we prepare the dough. I have taken two and a half cups of all purpose flour. I am adding salt as per my taste in it

And mixing it a little. You have to keep in mind that the salt should never be added to the yeast It is not included directly in the yeast mixture otherwise it reduces the effectiveness of the yeast, so we always include salt in the flour and bloom the yeast separately

Or even if you want to include instant yeast directly in the flour. You first add the salt to the flour, after that you add the yeast. You can see that I am adding the yeast mixture very slowly and incorporating it little by little

And I am kneading it, you have not added it all at once. Incorporate it otherwise your dough will become very soft and later it will be very difficult for you to knead or shape it, so I am slowly kneading it with a very light hand

And whatever dry flour we have, I am slowly folding it in. I am incorporating it and we will keep kneading it until the dry flour is completely incorporated inside it Now you can see clearly that earlier the dough was very soft, now as I

Am incorporating the rest of the dry flour in it, our The dough is coming to a very good consistency. Now I will add one tablespoon of oil in it and knead it again until a very nice smooth dough is ready. There is no need to knead too much but so much so that

The dough becomes a little smooth. A little oil is also used so that the dough does not stick to your hands. Now we will keep this dough for one hour to proof in a warm place. Keep it inside the oven or at any place, cover it and

After an hour you can see that it has doubled in size and has become very light and airy, then press it. All the air will come out from inside it when we use it to make Fatayer. Now we divide this dough into eight equal parts. You can

Make the dough equal with the help of any knife or even with the help of hands. We will prepare balls by dividing them into eight parts. You make balls from all the dough and when you keep them, you have to keep in mind that you cover them. If you do not cover

Then their outer surface will be It will be dry from the top. I have used a little dry flour on a flat surface and with the help of a rolling pin, I am flattening it. We

Will flatten the dough into an oval shape. We will not round it. This has to be made in the shape of a pie, so you can see that I have rolled it into an oval and now I am adding cheese in the middle,

I have shredded mozzarella cheese, if you want, you can also use cheddar, now you can see that how am I shaping the pie? I have pinched the edges from both the sides and joined them together and from above I have pressed it, in this way

I have made it in the shape of a pie. You shape them in the same way. And after giving shape, we will sprinkle some dried parsley or oregano on it, whatever is available with you. You have to repeat this process and prepare all the pies.

As I told you when we prepared the dough that if our dough is very soft then it would be very difficult to shape it and if the dough is too stiff it won’t be able to rise properly, so in the same way we will shape all the pies into a beautiful fatayer shape

Usually when these pies are made in the Middle East, they are made with cheese and they are also made with minced filling, chicken or beef mince or mutton mince is used. It

Is also very tasty with minced meat, so the filling is your choice, if you want, do it with cheese, if you want, do it with chicken, do it with mutton, do it with beef, then in the same way we

Will prepare all the pies. Line a tray with baking paper and prepare these pies and keep them in it. Because we have kept them to rise for some time, it will be difficult for you to move them again and again. So, keep the tray in which you have to bake them.

Keep them together in the same tray. For sprinkling on top, you can use oregano or parsley, it is your choice Now you can see, I have kept them in the tray. After beating an egg, I coat the edges with the help of a brush. when we brush egg

On its edges, firstly after baking the color of the dough becomes very nice golden shiny and secondly those edges become very soft. I prepare all the pies in the same way with beaten egg. I am brushing all the edges. I had turned on the oven for pre-heating. You pre-

Heat the oven at 180 degree centigrade and after preparing the pies, we kept them on rest for about 15 minutes so that they can rise a little more. Now I am sprinkling some sesame seeds on the edges. This is also completely optional if you

Want to do it. If you don’t have it or you don’t like it then you can skip this step. You can do this with egg wash. Sesame seeds stick very well with the dough, so after sprinkling them, we will bake these pieces in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes

You can see how delicious they are. There is a very nice golden color on them and a very nice color has come on the cheese too, it is very soft. The interesting thing about them is that you can freeze them before or after baking. If you have any left overs then

Put them in a zip lock bag and freeze them. Do try and remember me in your prayers. Allah Hafiz
