1 large baking pan
  1. 500 gramsall-purpose flour (about 4 cups)
  2. 1wine glass olive oil (about 1/3 cup or 80 ml)
  3. 1wine glass vinegar (about 1/3 cup or 80 ml)
  4. 200-250 mlwater (about 3/4 to 1 cup)
  5. For the filling:
  6. 500 gramsspinach (about 1 pound)
  7. 250 gramsfeta cheese (about 9 ounces)
  8. 3eggs
  9. 1 bunchgreen onions
  10. 1/2 cupparsley, preferably fresh (I didn't use much)
  11. Salt and pepper
  12. Sesame seeds for topping

Cooking Instructions

1 hour 30 minutes
  1. 1

    First, make the dough by adding all the ingredients together and kneading well until you have a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

  2. 2

    While the dough rests for about 40 minutes, prepare the filling.

  3. 3

    Wash the spinach, finely chop the green onions and parsley. Add the eggs, feta cheese, salt (be careful not to add too much since feta is salty), and pepper.

  4. 4

    Once the dough has rested, cut it into 8 equal pieces on a floured surface. Prepare a small bowl with olive oil for brushing the dough layers.

  5. 5

    Start by rolling out the first dough ball to about the size of a plate. Set it aside and brush the top with oil. Repeat with the next 3 dough balls, stacking each on top and brushing with oil, except for the last one. You should have two stacks of 4 dough layers each, arranged dough-oil-dough-oil-dough-oil-dough.

  6. 6

    After preparing the stacks, flour your surface again and roll out the first stack (one at a time) so it covers your entire baking pan.

  7. 7

    Brush the baking pan with oil, spread the first phyllo sheet evenly, add all the filling, then top with the second phyllo sheet and seal the edges.

  8. 8

    Finally, cut the pie, sprinkle with water, oil, and sesame seeds. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C), top and bottom heat, until golden brown.
