Notes
You can replace the butter by olive oil for the dough, and the cream and milk by a vegetable milk (e.g. oat milk).
For the dough: you can use different types of flour: for example, mix wholemeal flour with white flour and add a little gomasio.
Feta cheese can be used as a fresh sheep’s cheese.
