Ingredients (~14 pancakes)
|
In a medium bowl sift the flour and add the yeast, the lukewarm water and salt. |
Knead until you have a soft, velvety and slightly moist dough. Divide into 2 equal balls, cover it and leave aside for 15 minutes until you prepare the onions. |
Flour the work surface with flour, get a ball of dough and roll it out with a rolling pin into a thin round filo. Sprinkle with flour occasionally to open more easily. |
,
When you roll the filo, oil a little bit the surface, season with salt and scatter thinly chopped onion, to go everywhere. Lift one end of the filo and roll it to the opposite side, to form a cylinder, to close inside of the onion. |
Leave it with the union down and cut it with a knife, in 6-7 parts. |
Take one by one cut piece and with a rolling pin roll it into small round pita. Flour lightly to open up more easily. |
In a nonstick pan, add oil and gently fry the pies first from one side and then the other. |
Place them on a plate on a paper towel to drain. Serve hot with Ginger-Soy Sauce* optional. |
