Recipe ingredients

For 6 large pies:

For the dough:

750 gr. flour for all uses

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon mastic

1 teaspoon mahlab

1 teaspoon sugar

60 gr. olive oil

400 ml fresh milk 

16 gr. dry yeast


1 beaten egg

80 gr. sesame


For the filling:

30 gr. olive oil

650 gr. chicken breast 

200 gr. onion, finely chopped

¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1/3 teaspoon mastic

1/3 teaspoon mahlab

200 gr. Cypriot cheese halloumi, grated

3 eggs

1 tablespoon fresh mint leaves, finely chopped

40 gr. semolina

1 teaspoon baking powder

Salt and pepper


Recipe Directions

1. For the filling: In a cast iron pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chicken for 5-6 minutes or until it changes color. Add the onions, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients, lower the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is soft. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Add the halloumi, the baking powder, the mint and the semolina. Stir and set aside. Add the chicken to the mixture with the beaten eggs and mix.

2. For the dough: Put all the ingredients in the bucket of the mixer and beat until combined. Transfer the dough to a bowl.

3. Roll the dough into round pieces using a small plate and put a little filling in each piece. Add another piece on top (smaller than the first) and close the two pieces of the dough together.

4. Place the paskies in a non-stick pan. Cover with a towel and let them at room temperature for 1 hour and 30'. Preheat the oven to 160°C. Spread with the egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for about 1 hour.
