Prepare the Dough:
In a suitable kneading bowl, gradually add water, egg, salt, and flour. Knead until you form a soft dough. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, cover them, and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Roll Out the Dough:
Roll out each piece of dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible. Stack the rolled dough on top of each other, spreading butter between each layer.
Fold the Dough:
Fold the layered dough into a square shape by first folding the edges in half, then folding them again into quarters. Cover the folded dough and refrigerate it for 1 hour.
Prepare the Filling:
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by crumbling feta cheese.
Shape the Pastries:
After refrigerating, roll out the dough again and cut it into strips using a pastry wheel. Make slits on each strip and add the feta cheese filling. Shape the pastries by folding them.
Brush with Egg Yolk:
Place the shaped pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops of the pastries with egg yolk using a pastry brush.
Bake:
Bake the pastries in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius until golden brown.
Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade pastries!
