Alevropita (Quick Feta Flatbread)

This is a cut-down version of a traditional Greek “pie”. I made the full version from Marilena’s kitchen in a glass baking dish, but I thought it could use some baking powder and might crisp up better in a metal pie tin.
So some math and other recipes were used to devise my version.

Serves 3–4.

Ingredients

Dough

• ¾ c. flour
• ½ c. milk
• 1 egg
• ¼ c. plain yogurt
• ¼ tsp. baking powder
• ¼ tsp. salt
• dash pepper

Topping

• oregano to taste
• ½ c. crumbled feta
• 1 T olive oil, plus more for the pan

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400° F.
2. Oil a pie tin and place it in the oven to warm.
3. Mix the dough ingredients, optionally in a stand mixer. (A paddle is fine for this recipe.)
4. Prep the toppings if necessary.
5. Take out the pie tin and brush to distribute the oil.
6. Pour in the dough.
7. Top with the toppings.
8. Bake 20–25 minutes or until golden on top, poking any bubbles that develop.

Serve warm.
