Koulakia Koulakia

Chances are, the majority of you have not heard of koulakia before. They are a dumpling stuffed with feta cheese, typically found in Greek cuisine. My mom made these growing up from my great-grandmother's recipe, and I'm here to share it with you. Warning: This is not an exact measurement kind of recipe. We're going to make it like yiayia made it, eye-balling it. So know that you may need to adjust flour and water ratios along the way. Starting off: 2 c white all-purpose flour 3/4 c water (add slowly 1/4 c at a time, kneading into the flour to make the pasta dough) 2 t salt I toss this all into the Kitchen Aid with the dough hook on a low setting as I add the water so I can see how it's coming together. Set a large pot of water to boil on the stovetop while we make the dough. Once you've achieved a ball of dough (you're shooting for no crumbles and not too sticky), flour a surface and roll out flat. You may need to do this in batches dependin
