Instructions
- Mix flour, yeast, sugar, and salt together. Add warm water and olive oil slowly.
- Knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth. The dough should feel soft and elastic.

- Toss in chopped spinach and cook briefly. Add lemon juice, sumac, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything well and remove from heat. Let the filling cool down completely.
- Divide dough into 12 equal balls. Roll each ball into a small circle.
- The circles should be about 4 inches wide. Place 1 tablespoon of filling in the center.
- Fold three sides up to form a triangle. Pinch the edges tightly to seal them.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place fatayer on a lined baking sheet.
- Brush each one with beaten egg gently. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove and let them cool for 5 minutes.
Notes
- Don't overfill the pastries or they'll leak.
- Seal edges firmly to prevent opening during baking.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor.
- Room temperature dough is easier to work with.
- You can freeze unbaked fatayer for later use.
- Brush egg wash gently for even browning.
- Serve warm for the most delicious experience.
