How to make a greek pie
Ingredients
Instructions
- Small tips for successfull pies
- Hard wheat flour from village makes the best sheet.
- You will not make the perfect sheet on your first try. Keep trying. You will soon find out your own secrets.
- The right thin rolling-pin can be found at open-air markets, and at Athinas Street, in those little stores selling hangers and mortars.
- We can spread many sheets and preserve them in the freezer, wrapping each one separately in plastic wrap. A few minutes defrosting before usage is enough.
- The sheet "loves" oil. Spray some on it before you put in the oven. Corn-oil makes the end result much crunchier.
- Never expect a tastier result with ready-made pastry sheet.
- We never cover our pie after taking it out of the oven - we want to preserve the pastry crispy.
- Spinach-pies with frozen spinach do not have the taste of the fresh vegetable. During the summer, we can replace frozen spinach with fresh blite.
- You can spread any remaining dough in little round pieces, add some oil, oregano and ground cheese, thus creating lovely tiny home-made pizzas.
