If you haven't adopted whole wheat spelt flour yet, now is the time, because you're going to fall in love with it. Spelt is perfect for all types of baked goods - pizzas, cookies or yeast, and unlike other whole wheat flours that require changing the amount of liquid in the recipe, it easily replaces white flour.
This time, baker and Bakeoff winner Tomer Umansky prepares salty cheeses - addictive yeast pastries purely from spelt flour filled with salty cheeses, green onions and olives.

Method of preparation
How do you make salty spelt cheeses?
1Crumble the yeast into the milk or water, add the flour, sugar, eggs, butter and salt and knead for about 10 minutes until you get a uniform, flexible and comfortable dough.
2Transfer the dough to a slightly greased bowl and turn it inside so that it is coated with a thin layer of oil. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rise for 8-10 hours (overnight) in the refrigerator.
3Mix the filling ingredients well.
4Divide the dough in the refrigerator in half and roll each part out on a floured surface into a rectangular sheet 9 cm thick. Cut with a knife or pizza roller into 9x<> cm squares.
5Place a nice teaspoon of the filling in the middle of each square and close to a cheesy shape: fasten two diagonal corners to each other above the filling. Arrange spaced on baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
6Puff the cheeses for about half an hour to an hour and meanwhile preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
7Before putting in the oven, brush with a little beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds and put in the hot oven for 15-20 minutes.
8variety options: You can add small cubes of roasted sweet potatoes, mushrooms, various herbs, etc. to the filling.
