Salty strudel with chard and cheese

We celebrated Easter in a village where my husband`s father grows fruits and vegetables in his garden. I brought plenty of fresh foods to my house. Most of it was shard because it is known we all love it and I can prepare almost every meal from it. Since I follow variety of culinary sites I spotted sweet strudel recipe. Suddenly I got an idea how to make salty strudel with lots of chard I have in a fridge.
INGREDIENTS: 
for strudel:                                                                               for filling:
Flour - 18 oz                                                                          Chard - 25 leaves 
Eggs - 2                                                                                 Crumbled cheese - 18 oz
Fresh yeast - 1 pack                                                               Salt - 2 teaspoons
Oil - 1/2 cup                                                                           Sour cream - 4 tablespoons
Milk - 1,5 cups                                                                       Egg - 1
Salt - 2 teaspoons                                                                   Sesame seeds - for sprinkling
Sugar - 1 teaspoon
Butter - one half (4,5 oz)
PREPARATION:
Insert flour into deeper pot and add eggs, oil, milk, salt, sugar and crumbled yeast. Mix it all together and kneed compact soft dough. If the dough is not compact add some more flour or if it is so hard add some more milk. Dough is good enough if one can separate it from the walls of the pot without sticking to fingers.
Cover the dough for strudel with a clean clothe and leave it to stand for about 45 minutes.When the dough has risen take it out to the desktop previously sprinkled with flour and divide it into three parts. Each part stretch in a circle. Melt butter and coat each dough circle. The circle cut out as a windmill (see photo), and overlap one end onto another.
 
 Leave the dough to stand overlapped for about 20 minutes. During this time clean and boil chard leaves. Chop it and mix it with cheese and 3 teaspoons of sour cream and add salt. One teaspoon of sour cream leave aside for coating finalized strudel. After 20 minutes stretch the dough and put the filling on it. Roll the dough in strudel taking care not to be overtightened.

Mix sour cream (one teaspoon) and an egg and coat strudel and sprinkle it with sesame. Leave the strudel to stand for about 30 minutes and bake it in hot oven on 200 degrees for 30 minutes. When it is finished take it out from the stove, cover it with clean cloth and leave it to cool down. Cut out salty strudel and serve it with yogurth or sour cream.

HAVE A NICE MEAL !!!
