Feta Cheese and Herb Bread Rolls

Nothing screams Ramadan to me like dough. Fried, baked, stuffed, savory, sweet, you name it. They’re the perfect compliment to have next to a bowl of soup, and the best thing to eat after you break your fast after that first date. 

The combination of feta cheese with parsley and mint is heavenly. 
The bread is fluffy – you bite into a pillow and you’re met with the tangy flavor of the feta cheese mixed with the freshness of the fresh mint and parsley.
