Divide the dough into 12 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball.
Cover the dough balls and let them rest for another 10 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
In a bowl, combine chopped spinach, onion, salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Mix gently, ensuring the spinach does not release too much water.
Roll and Assemble the Pastries:
Roll out each dough ball to the size of a dessert plate.
Grease a tray with oil and arrange the rolled dough on it, brushing each layer with the melted butter and oil mixture. Cover and let it rest for 20–25 minutes.
Roll out each piece of dough as thin as possible, pulling gently as shown in the video.
Place the spinach filling in the center of each dough sheet, fold, and wrap as demonstrated.
Bake:
Preheat the oven to 185°C (365°F).
Brush the pastries with oil and arrange them on a greased tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Let the pastries cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
