- 1
Make the dough: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- 2
Prepare the filling: In a separate bowl, combine the crumbled feta cheese and the cooked, chopped spinach. Mix well.
- 3
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin circle, about 8-10 inches in diameter.
- 4
Place about a quarter of the filling onto one half of each dough circle, leaving a small border.
- 5
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Pinch the edges to seal.
- 6
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the krelan into the hot oil.
- 7
Fry for about 4-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Alternatively, you can bake the krelan at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, brushing with oil or butter.

Serve hot, optionally with a side of yogurt.
đĄ Proffstips
