Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

250 g hard white flour
250 g feta cheese crumbled
5 g dry yeast
½ teaspoon honey diluted in water
100 ml olive oil
½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

Put the flour in a mixing bowl and sprinkle the salt evenly over it. Create a small dip in the centre of the flour and add the yeast diluted in tepid water along with the honey.
Mix the yeast and honey in with some flour and then let it rest in a warm place for 15 minutes. Add enough tepid water to make a pliable but not sticky dough.
Knead it in the bowl enough to make it into a ball and then transfer it to a working surface and knead it for at least 10 minutes as you knead for bread.
Put it back in the bowl, cover it with cling film, put it in a warm place and let it rise to double its size.
Brush a shallow 36cm oven dish with the oil and place the dough in it, flattening it with the palm of your hand so that it covers the whole of the bottom of the dish.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the dough, pressing it in with your fingers. Sprinkle the oregano over it. Brush the edges well with the olive oil and pour the remainder over the feta.
Let it rise uncovered in a warm place for 30 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 250 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes or until it has a golden brown colour.

Steps:

Put the flour in a bowl and mix in the salt evenly. Mix the honey and the yeast with the 1/2 cup of water. Make a small dip in the center of the flour and add the yeast/honey water. Mix just a small amount of the flour into the yeast/honey water and cover the bowl and set it in a warm place for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, mix in the rest of the flour, along with enough additional water to make a soft, but not sticky dough. Mix the additional water in a little at a time. Gather the dough into a ball and turn it out onto a working surface and knead it until it is smooth and pliable (about 10 minutes).
Put the dough back in the bowl, and cover it with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place until double in size.
Brush a shallow oven dish with oil and place the dough into it. Flatten the dough out with your hands, to cover the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the dough and press it in with your fingers. Sprinkle the oregano evenly over the cheese. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil and pour the rest of the oil over the cheese.
Let the dough rise uncovered for 30 mins and place in a preheated 450 oven for 30 mins, or until it has a golden color.
Enjoy!
