- Add the flour, olive oil, salt, water and baking powder to a food processor and mix on low speed for 5 minutes. The dough must detach from the side of the bowl, if not then add a little flour. Remove the dough and transfer into a bowl then set aside for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- To prepare the filling: Mix the onions, spinach, pine nuts, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper and sumac.
- Lightly flour your work surface. Roll the dough out until thin and cut out 8cm diameter circles.
- Add 1 tablespoon of stuffing in the centre of each circle and fold to make a triangle. Close and seal to ensure that it does not open while cooking. Place on a greased baking tray and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
