Ingredients
- For 1 large baking tray
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 cups lukewarm water
- 1 cube fresh baker’s yeast (50 g)
- 500 g feta cheese, crumbled, or sour myzithra
- 200 g cow’s milk butter, melted
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp salt
Method
Step 1
Place the water in a large, deep pot and warm it over medium heat until lukewarm.
Step 2
Take some of the lukewarm water and place it in a bowl with the yeast and sugar. Stir until both dissolve.
Step 3
Add the salt, flour and dissolved yeast mixture to the pot with the lukewarm water. Mix by hand or with a whisk until a thick batter forms, smooth and without lumps. If the mixture is too thin, add a little more flour. If it is too thick, add a little more lukewarm water.
Step 4
Cover the pot and leave it in a warm place for about one hour, until the mixture rises.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Generously grease a baking tray with melted butter using a brush, reserving the rest of the butter.
Step 6
Stir the batter, pour it into the tray and spread it evenly. Scatter the crumbled feta on top and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.
Step 7
Cover the tray with a cloth and leave it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Once it begins to rise slightly, place it in the oven on the middle shelf.
Step 8
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on top.
