🔥 Flavor Upgrades / Secret Tips

⭐ Use fresh mint
Fresh mint gives the filling a bright Mediterranean flavor.

⭐ Do not overfill
Too much filling can cause the bread to open while cooking.

⭐ Use room-temperature dough
It stretches easier and cooks more evenly.

⭐ Add lemon zest
It balances the salty feta perfectly.

⭐ Cook until golden
The crispy exterior makes the filling even better.

⭐ Serve immediately
They are best warm when the feta is creamy.
