How to make

Dissolve the yeast in the warm and mixed together water and milk, along with the sugar and 2 tbsp flour. Stir and leave it for 10 min. to effervesce.

Separately, beat the eggs + egg white, add the yoghurt and melted butter, stir. Sift the flour in a deep bowl, make a well in it and add the salt.

Pour the egg mixture + effervescent yeast into it, stir and knead a soft dough. Leave the dough for 1 hour to double in volume. Sprinkle your counter with flour and place the dough, knead and divide it up into 4 balls.

Roll out each one with a rolling pin into a 1/4 thick sheet, separately. Arrange the sheets atop one another, smearing with the melted butter between them, don't smear the final sheet.

Roll out the layered sheets into 1 sheet, try to make it square-shaped. Smear with butter on top and sprinkle the coarsely grated feta cheese evenly.

Roll the sheet up into a roll, then cut into 3/4″ (2 cm) thick rolls. Arrange the rolls next to each other in a tray laid out with baking paper. Smear thus formed tutmanik with the beaten egg yolk and milk, then sprinkle sesame seeds.

Leave as is for 15 min., put the tutmanik in a preheated 360°F (180 °C) oven and bake 45 min., to the desired crisp.

Sprinkle the ready tutmanik with a little water and wrap with a clean towel, let sit for 15 min., serve and enjoy!
