'''Fatayer''' is a type of [[Middle Eastern cuisine|Middle Eastern]] [[pastry]] that is popular in [[Lebanon]], [[Jordan]], [[Palestine]], [[Syria]], [[Egypt]], and [[Iraq]]. It is often filled with ingredients such as [[spinach]], [[cheese]], or [[meat]], and is typically baked in a triangular or boat shape.

== History ==
The exact origins of fatayer are unknown, but it is believed to have originated in the [[Levant]] region of the Middle East. It has since spread to various parts of the world, including North Africa and the Gulf countries, where it has been adapted to local tastes and ingredients.

== Preparation ==
Fatayer is made by preparing a dough from [[flour]], [[water]], [[yeast]], and [[salt]]. The dough is then rolled out and cut into circles, which are filled with the desired filling. The edges of the dough are then folded over the filling and pinched together to form a seal. The pastries are then baked until golden brown.

=== Fillings ===
There are many different types of fillings that can be used in fatayer, including:

* '''Spinach fatayer:''' This is one of the most common types of fatayer. The spinach is typically mixed with [[onions]], [[sumac]], and [[lemon juice]] before being used as a filling.
* '''Cheese fatayer:''' This type of fatayer is filled with a mixture of [[feta cheese]] and [[mozzarella cheese]].
* '''Meat fatayer:''' This type of fatayer is filled with a mixture of ground [[lamb]] or [[beef]], onions, and spices.

== Variations ==
There are many variations of fatayer throughout the Middle East and North Africa. For example, in [[Egypt]], fatayer is often made with a sweet dough and filled with a sweet cream filling. In [[Jordan]], fatayer is often made with a dough that includes [[yogurt]] and is filled with a mixture of cheese and [[za'atar]].
