Instructions

1. Combine the flour, sugar and salt in a bowl and whisk.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the olive oil, yogurt, egg and lemon juice until smooth.
3. Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. When too thick to whisk, knead by hand until a dough forms.
4. Cover and rest the dough at room temperature for 30 minutes.
5. In a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the feta, ricotta, eggs, oil, salt, pepper and dill until combined.
6. Beat in the scallions.
7. With the mixer on low, add the chopped spinach a handful at a time until fully incorporated. Stir with a spatula and set aside.
8. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
9. Lightly oil the work surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions, then cut each into 8 pieces.
10. Roll each piece into a ball, then press or roll gently into a 5-inch (about 13 cm) round, without adding flour.
11. Place a tablespoon of filling on each round, add extra crumbled feta if you like, and fold over the filling.
12. Press the edges together to seal, then crimp them with a fork.
13. Arrange 8 pies per baking tray. Brush the tops with the egg wash.
14. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden, swapping the trays' positions halfway through.
15. Serve warm.
