As I have mentioned before, this is my mother's recipe and it's the best!. Believe me, I've tried many different
pies, but this one is my benchmark for pie!You can add spinach in the mixture, I didn't have one now so I prepared it without it.
Ingredients:
For filling (or optional):
Mix eggs with the cheese and add the sour cream. Add a little oil on the crust before applying the filling .
For dough:
1. Mix all ingredients except the butter, start kneading and gradually add water. Knead until dough is smooth, soft and non stick, split into two balls and let them rest for 10-15 minutes.
2. Roll out a 2-3 cm pastry from one ball and coat with half butter. Cut a smaller circle in the middle and cut in rays the remaining ring.
3. Each piece of the ring is placed on one another in the middle and then closed.
Put the dough in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator for at least half an hour.
4. Repeat the procedure with the other ball.
5. When the dough is nicely chilled, stretch a crust the size of the tray, put the bottom crust on a greased tray, add the filling and place the second layer. Seal the ends spirally.
6. Cut the top layer with a sharp knife several times so the pie won't swell while baking.
7. Bake at 200 C degrees in preheated oven, until pie gets a beautiful golden color.
Enjoy!
