Instructions

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, yogurt, and 100 ml of oil until smooth. Add the baking powder, flour, and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
Rest the Dough: Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 15–20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine feta cheese and curd cheese. Mix well and set aside.
Shape the Bread: After resting, divide the dough into 10–12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Flatten each dough ball into a disc. Brush the surface with the melted butter and oil mixture. Place a spoonful of cheese filling in the center of the disc. Fold the edges over the filling to seal, then reshape into a ball.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare for Baking: Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them. Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with black cumin seeds.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the bread is cooked through.
Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill to the cheese filling.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
To reheat, place the bread in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5–7 minutes.
