🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 cups all-purpose flour
✓ 1/2 tsp salt
✓ 1 tsp instant yeast
✓ 1 tbsp sugar
✓ 3/4 cup warm water
✓ 1 large egg
✓ 2 tbsp light olive oil
✓ Oil spray (for brushing)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Activate the Dough: Combine warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar in a bowl. Let sit 5 minutes until foamy, indicating active yeast ready to work.

2. Build the Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and remaining sugar. Create a well in the center and pour in activated yeast mixture, egg, and olive oil.

3. Knead to Silky Texture: Mix with a wooden spoon, then knead by hand for 8–10 minutes until dough becomes smooth and elastic. It should spring back when poked. Add water 1 tbsp at a time if too dry.

4. First Rise: Oil a clean bowl lightly, place dough inside, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.

5. Prep Filling Station: While dough rises, combine chopped chocolate with cocoa powder in one bowl. In another, mix Greek yogurt with honey. Combine shredded cheese and crushed peanuts in a third bowl. Keep milk powder and sesame seeds separate for final topping.

6. Shape and Stuff: Punch down dough and divide into 4 equal portions. On an oil-sprayed work surface, gently stretch each portion into a 6-inch square. Layer filling in center: chocolate-cocoa mixture, then cheese-peanut mix. Fold edges over to seal, creating a square parcel.

7. Pan-Fry to Golden Crisp: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush surface lightly with oil spray. Place first martabak seam-side down in pan. Fry 4–5 minutes per side until deep golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining parcels, oil-spraying between batches.

8. Apply Creamy Topping: While still warm, drizzle each martabak with Greek yogurt-honey mixture (about 1 tbsp per piece). Sprinkle milk powder and sesame seeds generously over the top while surface is sticky.

9. Rest and Serve: Let cool for 2 minutes on a wire rack so toppings set but chocolate stays pliable. Serve warm with extra honey drizzle on the side.
