  9. After it doubles in size form your small tsourekia in any shape you like, DON'T knead again and place on a buttered tray (I used baking paper, not close to one another because they also rise during baking).

  10. You leave them to rise once more (1 to 1,5 hours) and then brush them with the egg yolk dissolved with 1 tbsp water (sprinkle with sugar or whatever else you might want).
