Steps

1 1/2 hours

1

Clean and wash the spinach thoroughly. Chop it into small pieces and drain well to remove excess moisture. Place in a large bowl, add the herbs and salt. Rub the spinach with your hands to reduce its volume. Add the feta, the egg beaten with the milk, the rice, and mix everything together.
2

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, vinegar, oil, and enough lukewarm water to make a soft dough. Divide into 6 balls, cover, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
3

Roll out the dough balls into thin sheets and lay them out on a large tablecloth.
4

Grease a baking pan well. Place one sheet of dough in the pan and brush with oil. Add another sheet on top, brush with oil, and spread a little filling. Add another sheet, brush with oil, and add a bit more filling. Repeat with another sheet, brush with oil, and add filling. Place one more sheet, brush with oil, and finish with the last sheet. Generously brush the edges with oil and fold the dough edges inward to create a nice border.
5

Score the pie, brush with a little oil, sprinkle with a bit of water, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 1 1/2 hours.
