- Rise - Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Assemble
- Preheat your oven to 425°F/220 °C/Gas Mark 7. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide - Punch down the dough and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Place the dough ovals on the prepared baking sheet.
- Filling: Top the ovals with grated cheese. Spread each portion with one of the prepared toppings, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the border over the fillings, securing the ends to prevent them from opening. Top with more cheese and brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg.½ cup Grated cheese, ½ cup Grated cheese, ½ cup Grated cheese, 1 Egg

- Serve - Remove from the oven and crumble with fresh feta cheese if desired. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro.
