Traditionally served during Shabbat, these pastries have become a beloved street food in Israel, often filled with various savory ingredients. Today, melawach burekas are enjoyed globally, with many variations reflecting local tastes and ingredients.

ILILmain
6 servings
Servings4
2 Malawach dough sheets
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp ricotta cheese
1/2 tsp black pepper
pitted sliced olives
1

Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water until a dough forms.

2

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

4

Peel and boil potatoes until tender, then mash and let cool.

5

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté spinach until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

6

Mix mashed potatoes, sautéed spinach, feta cheese, cumin, coriander, and black pepper in a bowl.

7

Divide the rested dough into equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle.

8

Spread butter on each circle, then fold into quarters to create layers.

9

Roll each folded circle into a flat disk again.

10

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each disk until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

11

Fill each disk with the potato and spinach mixture, folding into a triangle shape.

12

Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

13

Return to the skillet and cook until the filling is heated through, about 5 minutes.

14

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
