Easy Pogaca (Kolay Pogaca)

Easy Pogaca (Kolay Pogaca)

1 egg (yolk separated)
100 gr butter/margarine, softened
½ cup canola oil
½ cup yogurt
½-1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt to taste
2 ½-3 cups flour
1 tbsp nigella seeds for top

Filling:
½ cup ricotta/Mexican crumbling/feta cheese, crumbled
2 tbsp fresh parsley/dill, chopped finely (optional)

Place all of the dough ingredients in a wide and deep bowl. Mix them all and knead with your hands till the dough gets elastic, non sticky and smooth. In a small plate, mix the filling ingredients. Grab egg size or bigger dough pieces and flatten with your palms. Place one tea spoonful of filling in the middle and close it up like a half moon shape. Stick the edges pressing with your fingers.
Place the pogacas over a greased oven tray and glaze with egg yolk. Sprinkle with nigella seeds and bake at preheated 350 F (180 C) oven till they get light brown.
