45 min1 serving

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour (I used about 1/4 cup whole wheat flour and the rest white)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl add the flour and add the salt and mix.

  2. 2

    Make a whole in the middle and the add the olive oil and vinegar.

  3. 3

    Mix the dough with a wooden spoon , until the liquids have been absorbed. It will be dry and crumbly.

  4. 4

    Add some warm water and knead with your hands, add enough so that the dough is soft but not sticky. Knead until smooth.

  5. 5

    Separate the dough in two pieces and roll into balls. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    On a well floured surface, roll out the two balls, with a thin rolling pin, in large circles so that they are large enough to cover the base of the pan and hang over the sides.

  7. 7

    Roll dough partially around the pin and place over your pan, gently. Brush with olive oil.

  8. 8

    Place your filling.

  9. 9

    Cover with second phyllo and join both phyllo sheets together twisting round the pan so it forms a border.

  10. 10

    Brush with olive oil.
