yeast

🥗Healthier: baking powder

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Self-rising flour simplifies the recipe.

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Warm water and milk in a saucepan until lukewarm, then add to the flour mixture.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Meanwhile, finely chop onions and sauté in butter until golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Season the onions with salt, pepper, and herbs, then set aside to cool.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls.

Roll each ball into a circle and place a spoonful of the onion mixture in the center.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch to seal tightly.

Place the filled pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

Alternatively, fry in hot oil until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
