Fatayer

Fatayer is a popular Middle Eastern pastry that comes in different shapes and sizes. It is commonly found in countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Palestine. Fatayer are typically small, triangular pastries that are filled with a variety of savory ingredients.

The dough used for fatayer is similar to that of other Middle Eastern pastries, such as pita bread or flatbread. It is made with basic ingredients like flour, water, yeast, salt, and sometimes a small amount of sugar and oil. The dough is typically left to rise for some time to achieve a soft and elastic texture.

Once the dough is prepared and the fillings are made, small portions of dough are rolled out into circles or ovals. The filling is then placed in the center of each piece of dough, and the edges are folded over to create a triangular shape. The fatayer are usually baked in an oven until the dough is golden and cooked through.

Fatayer can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. They are commonly served as an appetizer, snack, or part of a mezze spread. Fatayer can be found in bakeries, street food stalls, or made at home. They are loved for their delicious flavors, the combination of soft dough and flavorful fillings, and their versatility as a portable and satisfying snack.
