The BEST purslane pies. You can substitute the fil The BEST purslane pies. You can substitute the filling with spinach too 😍 Will be bugging Dad for these today 😆 Tap that save! RECIPE: Ingredients
Dough
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 cup warm water (about 95 degrees Fahrenheit)
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons oil (I prefer olive oil)
Filling
• 10 cups fresh purslane chopped
• 2 cups of fresh parsley chopped
• 1.5 cups onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoons of dry mint or fresh if available.
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sumac
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ cup lemon juice  or 1 teaspoon of citric acid
• ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
The Dough
1. Place the yeast and sugar and the water in a bowl and let it sit for about 10 minutes  in a warm place (about 85 degrees Fahrenheit)
2. Add the salt and olive oil to the bowl and mix the flour into the wet ingredients. Knead by hand for about 5 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into about 16 pieces.  Form each piece into a ball and place in a lightly oiled pan a couple inches apart.
4. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and a towel above the plastic and set aside for about 30 min in a warm place to proof. Again about 85 degree will be ideal
The Filling
1. While the dough is proofing mix all the filling ingredients together. (you can taste your mix and add more lemon juice  or salt to your taste).
When the dough is proofed (about doubled in size)

1. Take a ball and flatten forming a circle (I like my pies thin so I do 1/8 of an inch)
2. Fill with the mix and form a triangle shaped pie
3. Brush the pies with light coat of veg oil before placing into the oven and bake at 450 degrees. Oven temp and placement of the racks height may vary (I do the center rack), so check the bottom of the pie in about 10 min. You may need to broil to brown the top
