Famagusta Börek (Mince and Halloumi Pastry Rolls)

Knead the flour, lukewarm water and a pinch of salt into a smooth, soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and rest for 20 minutes.

Brown the mince in olive oil in a pan until its liquid has evaporated. Add the finely chopped onions and keep cooking, then season with salt and black pepper. Take off the heat and, once lukewarm, stir in the grated halloumi and plenty of dried mint.

Chef's tip: Added while hot, the halloumi melts; letting it cool keeps the layers separate.

Divide the rested dough into balls and roll them out into thin sheets. Brush with melted butter, share out the filling, roll up and arrange in a tray.

Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake in an oven preheated to 190 °C until golden and crisp.
