Steps:
- In order to have the best texture for your flaouna, it is best to prepare the filling from the night before or at least 4-5 hours before baking. This would allow the cheese filling to dry out and be able to absorb more of the "moisture" from the liquid flaouna ingredients.
- Start off by grating the cheese as fine as you possibly can. Add the beaten eggs, the raisins, the mint, the mastic, mahlab and the semolina and mix thoroughly. Cover it with a cloth and place in the fridge overnight or for at least 4-5 hours before baking.
- Next off start preparing the dough. The dough is more like a shortbread and not very bread-y hence be careful not to overwork the dough as your flaouna will be a bit doughy. In a large bowl sift the flour, add the salt, baking powder, the mahlab, mastic and mix thoroughly.
- Add the liquid ingredients to your flaouna recipe mixture which are the butter and eggs and gently mix the flaouna dough with your fingers. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water with the sugar, pour into the dough and then add the warm milk. Be careful for your water and milk to be only lukewarm and not hot as they will kill your yeast!
- Continue kneading the dough for a few minutes until the texture is firm but not bread-like. If the dough is too wet add a little more flour but be careful not to overdo it as you don't want the flaouna to have a bread-y texture. Cover the dough mix with some cling film and let it rise for 1-2 hours or until it has almost doubled in size.
- Now its time to start assembling your flaouna! Get the filling mixture out of the fridge and add the remaining mixture ingredients. Mix thoroughly and set it aside. Pour the flaouna dough out of the bowl and roll out in thin sheets. Cut into 12 by 12 cm rectangles, about 5 inches in each dimension. Sprinkle the sesame seeds on a small plate with approximately the same size as the flaouna dough rectangles
- Glaze the outer side of the flaouna dough with the whisked eggs and press it down on the sesame seeds. That will ensure that the seeds are firmly embedded in the dough. Grab a handful of the cheese filling and form a ball. Place in the centre of the dough (sesame seeds facing outwards), glaze the edges with a little more whisked egg and fold, pinching the corners together to form the flaouna shape.
- Once all your flaouna are shaped, place them on a baking tray lined with grease proof paper, let them rise for about 30-45 minutes and then bake in a pre-heated oven at 200C for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

- Greens and Eggs – Horta Me Avga. Greens cooked in eggs are a Cypriot breakfast staple and not so much a recipe as a concept to be embellished with whichever seasonal greens you have available.
- Grilled Spicy Prawns with Feta and Ouzo – Garithes Saganaki. If you’re on the fence about combining seafood and cheese, this is the dish to convince you of its merits.
- Cypriot Pork Meatballs – Keftedes. Tender, succulent, and delicately laced with quintessential Cypriot spice, cinnamon, these versatile pork meatballs are a meze mainstay but can also serve as everything from finger food (dipped in a little tzatziki) to the star of your dinner plate with a big chopped salad on the side.
- Stuffed Courgette Flowers with Mint Yoghurt – Anthous Me Giaourti. If you thought that stuffed courgette flowers were the reserve of Italian cuisine, think again.
- Cheese, Courgette and Honey Pie – Tyropita Me Meli. Cheese pies are ubiquitous across Greece, from small handheld versions to whole trays cut into slices.
- Pastitsio – Makaronia Tou Fournou. Pastitsio is Greece’s answer to lasagne. Served cold to help the layers firm up, it features a base of macaroni and an aromatic meat sauce all topped with a billowy layer of béchamel akin to that which you’ll find on a moussaka.
- Theia Frosa’s Tava. Every cuisine needs a one-pot wonder and this is Cyprus’ very own. A simple dish of melt-in-the-mouth lamb, soft potatoes and caramelised onions that no meat-eater could eschew.
- Orange, Yoghurt and Filo Cake – Portokalopita. We hope you’ve saved room for dessert because there is much to fall in love with in Taverna’s sweet section, starting with this unusual bake made from shredded filo pastry.
- Tiny Spiced Syrup Doughnuts – Loukoumades. Described as little doughnuts that are drenched in a spiced sugar syrup (Georgie had us at that, frankly), these crisp sweet treats are a traditional offering for Epiphany, when they are left on windowsills to scare away the kallikantzari (little imps that live underground and come up during the 12 days of Christmas).
- Livaneziko, and a nod to Mahalepi. There are versions of mahalepi, a pudding comprised of cornflour and water cooked down to a jelly-like consistency and infused with rose syrup, rosewater and sugar, all over the Middle East as well as Greece and Cyprus.
TRADITIONAL CYPRUS FOOD: 10 BEST CYPRIOT DISHES
From luxurycolumnist.com

- Cypriot Meze. The word meze means little delicacies and Cypriot meze certainly live up to their reputation. These small dishes are similar to tapas in their variety.
- Lamb Kleftiko. A hearty Cypriot dish, kleftiko is lamb marinaded in garlic, cinnamon and lemon. The word kleftiko means stolen in Greek. It’s thought that hundreds of years ago, if someone stole a goat or sheep, they would cook it in a hole in the ground and seal the top so that no one would spot smoke rising.
- Koupepia. Koupepia are vine leaves stuffed with ground pork, beef mince or veal and rice. They are similar to dolmades in Greek cuisine, but cooked with lemon juice and tomato.
- Cypriot Village Salad. Salads are an important part of Cyprus food. Cypriot salad is traditionally served as one of the mezes or with main dishes such as stifado.
- Keftedes. Popular in Greece as well as Cyprus, keftedes are pork or pork and beef meatballs, often served with Cypriot pita bread. The Cypriot version often contains grated potato as well as bread.
- Stifado. A delicious Cypriot meat and onion stew, stifado is a great Winter warmer. The word stifado is thought to come from the Italian term stufa, meaning oven.
- Cypriot Souvla. The difference between Greek souvlaki and Cypriot souvla is that the Cyprus dish is cooked further away from the hot coles. The meat pieces are also cooked for longer on low heat.
- Chicken Orzo. Orzo is a type of pasta that rather confusingly looks like a grain of rice! This wheat-semolina flour pasta is used quite a lot in Cyprus, for Greek orzo salad and also in tray bakes.
- Stuffed Zucchini Flowers. Known as kolokithoanthoi in Cyprus, these stuffed courgette flowers are as tasty as they look. The original recipe is an appetizer vegan dish.
- Kataifi. Finish your Cypriot meal with a pastry-based dessert. Kataifi is a sweet treat containing kataifi dough, cloves, cinnamon, walnuts and honey.

- Halloumi. Halloumi is not only the king of the grilled cheese, it’s also the source of our national pride. Its popularity is rapidly growing worldwide and it can be found in many countries nowadays.
- Sheftalies. At a first glance, sheftalies look similar to kebab, but in their taste – they are far more delicious. Sheftalies are typically made with minced lamb or pork (sometimes even both) and mixed with lots of cinnamon parsley and onion.
- Koupepia. Koupepia is one of the most famous traditional Cyprus dishes. It’s usually made of grape leaves, stuffed with rice, minced pork or beef, fresh herbs and other seasoning and then cooked in a tomato sauce.
- Souvla. During the most important celebrations in Cyprus, we usually serve souvla. Souvla is a Cypriot-style barbeque. It’s basically big chunks of pork or lamb meat that are slowly cooked on a long skewer over a charcoal.
- Louvi. Louvi, as we call them in Cyprus, are the black-eyed beans. It is very common for Cypriot families to have a specific day of the week devoted solely to this scrumptious meal.
- Kolokasi. Kolokasi is an indigenous root vegetable which is similar to sweet potato. It can only be found in Cyprus plus some other Greek islands. We even have a kolokasi festival where countless people gather to show off their family dishes.
- Pilafi Pourgouri. Like most Cypriot recipes, pilafi pourgouri is considered to be a “poor man’s dish.” As mentioned above, when the locals were poor, they used simple ingredients to make some great recipes.
- Makaronia Tou Fournou. Makaronia tou fournou, or the “oven-baked macaroni” in Greek, is the Cypriot version of the more famous Greek dish known as pastitsio.
- Trachanas Soup. In Cyprus, this is considered the most popular soup, which we normally serve during the few cold months of the year. Trachanas is typically made with goat milk, some salt, and wheat, which is then turned into dry chunks.
- Loukoumades. If you have a sweet tooth, then don’t miss out on this delicacy! Usually, you can buy loukoumades from street vendors or at some coffee shops.
