1 cup of warm water

Dissolve yeast in 3 T warm water mixed with sugar and allow the mixture to bubble. Add remaining cup of water and set aside. Mix flour and salt, then add water and yeast mixture.

Filling
1 bag washed spinach
3 onions chopped
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 pinch allspice
1 pinch cinnamon
salt and pepper
optional1 T olive oil
Toss all filling ingredients like a salad. Set aside.

Roll dough into small circles. Mine have a diameter about the length of my hand. Place a small amount of spinach mixture in center of each round of dough. Form a triangular pie by drawing two sides of dough to the center and pinching shut a seam from center to the corner. Then draw up the remaining bottom flap of dough and pinch shut the remaining seams, leaving a tiny hole open in the center as a vent. Bake at 375 to 400 degrees F for 15 minutes , until brown on top and bottom.
