🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is creamier and higher in protein.

olive oil

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, yeast, sugar, and water until smooth. Let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

Sauté onions in olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add spinach to the onions and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes.

Stir in lemon juice, pine nuts, salt, black pepper, and cumin; remove from heat and let cool.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the risen dough into small balls and roll each into a thin circle.

Place a spoonful of the spinach mixture in the center of each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling to create a triangle or a pocket, sealing the edges well.

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

Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
