Steps

1 hour and 30 minutes

1

In a large bowl, add the flour and make a small well in the center. Add all the other ingredients except the water, then gradually add the water.
2

Knead by hand for about 5 minutes. The dough is ready when it pulls away from the sides of the bowl, is soft, pliable, and doesn't stick to your hands.
3

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for at least 30 minutes in a warm place.
4

For the filling, sauté the onions, leek, and spinach in a little olive oil until they soften and wilt. Add the dill at the end.
5

Once the filling has cooled, add salt, pepper, crumbled feta, and the egg. Mix well.
6

When the dough is ready, divide it into 2 pieces. Use one for the bottom crust and divide the second piece in half for the top layers.
7

Roll out the first piece of dough for the bottom crust and place it in your baking pan, greased with oil to prevent sticking. Brush with oil.
8

Next, add the filling and roll out the other 2 pieces of dough.
9

Place the first top layer over the filling, seal the edges, and brush with oil.
10

Add the second top layer. Trim any excess dough so the edges aren't too thick and seal evenly.
11

Cut into pieces, brush with any remaining oil, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
12

Bake for 50 minutes in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) with the fan on, if available.

Enjoy!
