Cheese Sambousek step by step

1. In Food processor or in stand up mixer, put flour, salt and sugar and mix..
2. Add egg and melted butter and then gradually add water until a ball forms..
3. Rest dough for 30 minutes in oil coated bowl and cover it, so the dough doesn't dry..
4. In the meanwhile, prepare stuffing: In a bowl mix mozzarella cheese, parsley, mint, salt, pepper and olive oil..
5. After the dough had rested dust some flour on a hard surface. Do not use a lot of flour because you want the dough to still stick to each other when forming the crescents..
6. Form the dough into a big round circle and using a cover of a Tupperware or anything round that has edges, cut circles through the dough..
7. Take the irregular shaped dough out and form a ball, then let it rest for about 15 minutes..
8. Now put some stuffing in the circle slightly to one side but keep it away from the edges..
9. Then close the dough as if forming a semi circle and then with holding the bottom part and pulling it up with a twisting motion all the way until it closes. You can also use a fork dipped in egg wash to seal the edges, although I don't know how the cheese would hold in there while frying..
10. After you finish all the pies and after the leftover dough from the previous circle has rested for 15 minutes, repeat the previous steps..
11. Heat fryer to 350 degrees and deep fry pies until light golden brown..
