Stuffed Georgian Cheese Breads - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    600 g plain flour (4 cups)
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    500 ml Greek yogurt
    FILLING
    125 g mild cheddar cheese, grated
    75 g feta cheese, finely crumbled
    2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
    1 egg, beaten
    1 teaspoon of fresh mint, finely chopped
Preparation
    Make the filling by combining all the filling ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
    Sift 1 cup of the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl.
    Add the yoghurt and stir until combined.
    Add the remaining flour and mix until a dough forms.
    Lighty flour a board or bench and knead the dough for 5 minutes, adding a little extra flour if the dough is sticky.
    Divide the dough into 8 portions.
    Cover with a damp tea towel so they don't dry out while you are working.
    Take one piece and, on a lighty floured surface, roll dough out to a 15cm round.
    Place 1 tablespoon filling in the centre, then gather the sides and twist the top to seal edges together so the filling is encased in dough.
    Gently roll out again to a round shape, then place aside on a baking-paper lined tray and cover with another tea towel.
    Repeat until all of the breads are done.
    Heat a heavy based frypan over a medium heat and spray with oil spray.
    Cook breads in batches for 1 minute on each side.
    Then place breads in a single layer on 1 0r 2 large oven trays and cook at 220 degree C for 10 minutes or until puffed and golden.
    Serve immediately.
