Steps

1

For the dough, put the flour in a bowl, make a well in the center, and add all the ingredients (add water as needed).
2

Knead until it becomes a smooth dough and leave it covered on the side while you prepare the filling.
3

Optionally, use 1 package of store-bought country-style phyllo dough.
4

For the filling, wash and chop the spinach, leeks, and green onions well.
5

In a pot, add the chopped ingredients, sprinkle with plenty of salt and pepper, and let the spinach reduce in volume and release its liquids.
6

Drain the filling well to remove excess liquids and let it cool slightly.
7

Add the eggs, feta, and dill, and mix well.
8

Divide the dough into 2 pieces, one slightly larger than the other, and roll out 2 sheets, one for the bottom and one for the top, not too thin.
9

Spread one sheet to cover the entire baking pan (including the edges), and brush it with a little olive oil.
10

Pour and spread the filling.
11

Place the second sheet on top and cover well.
12

Finally, brush a little olive oil on the top sheet with a brush.
13

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) until it turns a nice golden color.
