Why You’ll Love Tyropsomo

Tyropsomo is everything you want in a bread – fluffy on the inside, with a crispy, golden crust on the outside. It’s filled with tangy feta and often some herbs like dill or parsley for extra flavor.

It’s like a cheese-stuffed pillow of goodness, ideal for any time of day.

Not only is it delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with soups, salads, and grilled dishes.

My Mediterranean Greek Pantry

500g (4 cups) bread flour

1 packet (7g or 2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast

1 tsp sugar

1tsp salt

250ml (1 cup) warm water

2 tbsp olive oil

200g (7 oz) feta cheese, crumbled

100g (3.5 oz) grated kefalotyri or parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)

1 tbsp oregano, ( optional)

Black pepper, to taste

A drizzle of olive oil

Olive oil, for brushing

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar.

Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and activated yeast mixture.

Mix until the dough starts coming together.

Knead for about 8-10 minutes, until you get a soft, elastic dough. (If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it’s too dry, add a little water.)

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in an oiled bowl, and cover it. Let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

In a bowl, mix the crumbled feta, grated cheese (if using), chopped herbs, black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir gently to combine.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line your loaf pans with parchment paper.

Punch down the dough to release the air and divide it into 2-4 equal portions, depending on your preferred size for the breads.

Roll out each portion into an oval, about ½ inch thick.

Place a portion of the filling in the center of each dough.

Fold the edges over the filling and press gently to seal, creating a filled, oval loaf.

Place the loafs on the prepared pans.

Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with 1 tbsp grated cheese.

Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through.

Let cool slightly and enjoy warm.

Tyropsomo can be served as a side with salads, soups, or on its own as a delicious snack.

Enjoy your Greek tyropsomo!
