This cheese pie is a delicious savory pastry similar to a tiny cheesy pizza but a million times better. It has a super fluffy and flavorful crust filled with a mix of cheeses, spices, fresh garlic and parsley.
The filling is spread evenly on the crust and the pie is then baked until it reaches a perfect golden brown color and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

ingredients we need to use to make this delicious homemade cheese pie
Water: make sure its not too hot or it will *off* the active dry yeast
active dry yeast: itโs essential, it helps the dough to rise and makes the texture airy and fluffy.
all purpose flour: you can also do 1/2 bread flour and 1/2 All purpose flour
butter: you can also use oil instead, *olive oil*
salt and sugar: makes the dough richer in flavor
cheese: we are using mozzarella, old cheddar and feta.
spices: garlic powder, black pepper, chilli flakes. You can always change them and use the spices of your choice.
parsley: i donโt like using dry parsley so i recommend you using fresh parley then chop it small.
egg: for eggwash and to bind the filling.
the best tips
– keep the dough covered with plastic wrap when proofing and when having to work on each individual pie.
-make the filling ahead of time if you can, and leave it in the fridge so it tastes so much better.
-butter the pan so the cheese pie doesnโt stick.
-leave enough distance for them to grow on the oven.

ingredients
dough
- 125 grams lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 220 grams all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons soft butter
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 170 grams feta cheese

- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

step by step
dough
1)First step, sponge
To make cheese pies we need to start by making our sponge. In a clean bowl pour lukewarm water, sugar and active dry yeast, give it a good mix, cover and leave it in a warm place for about 15 minutes. You know itโs ready when you can see this foamy texture on top.
2)Second step, dough
Now you can add the rest of dough ingredients to the sponge. Start by adding all purpose flour, sugar, salt and soft butter. I like to mix all my ingredients with a wooden spoon and then go ahead and knead it on my stand mixer.
Knead
3)Third step, knead and rest
Knead this dough on your stand mixer for about 20 minutes on medium low speed using your dough hook attachment. Once the dough is kneaded, transfer it to a bowl and cover it with plastic wrap.
Allow this dough to proof in a clean and oiled bowl for about 1h and 30 minutes or until it has doubled in size. If you have a proofing machine or dough proofer set it to a temperature of 30C (86F). You can also allow it to proof in a warm place in your house.
Prepare filling
4)Forth step, filling
i like doing this before doing the dough but you can also do it while you are waiting for your dough to proof.
To make the filling get your favorite cheeses, we used mozzarella, old cheddar and feta cheese in this recipe. Wash your parsley throughly, dry it, and chop it really small, we are only using the leaves of the parsley. Chop garlic too, add one egg and spices. Give it a a good mix.
5)Fifth step, shape
Dust your working surface with flour. Divide your proofed dough into 4 or 5 equal parts, roll them into balls
*we made about 9 cheese pies using double this recipe, you can easily do the same thing when you see our recipe scrolling down a little more, thatโs where you are gonna find it in cups and grams too*
6)Sixth step, shape
Take one part of the dough and roll it out on a slightly floured surface. Cover the remaining dough with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Spread the cheese mixture onto the the edges of the dough leaving some space.
7)Seventh step, close
Fold the edges of the dough over the cheese mix. transfer the dough into a greased pan (it will help you hold the shape and the cheese wont fall everywhere if you don’t have the perfect tool for transferring), beat one egg and brush the entire surface with it. Add the rest of the cheese mixture into the center of the dough.
Second proof
8)Eight step, rest
Pre-heat your oven at 200C (392F) allow the dough to rest again, ideal proofing temperature should be 30C (86F).
Bake
9)Ninth step, bake
Bake at 200C (392F) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on it to avoid over baking.
once finished baking i love to brush some butter on top, you can add some more chopped parsley and chili flakes on top for garnish and its ready to eat.
