Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. 2 Mix feta cheese and eggs together in a bowl for the filling.
  3. 3 Lay one sheet of phyllo on a work surface and brush liberally with olive oil. Top with another sheet and brush again with oil. Repeat for a total of four sheets, but do not brush the top of the fourth sheet. Transfer the stack of oiled sheets to one of the prepared cake pans. Drape over the bottom of the pan, trying not to be too perfect about it; you want some folds and wrinkles in the phyllo.
  4. 4 Spread 1/2 of the filling over the phyllo in an even layer. Fold the overhanging phyllo over the filling, again letting natural folds and wrinkles occur. Loosely lay one sheet of phyllo over the top, brush with oil, and use the oiled brush to pat down the sides all around the circumference of the cake pan.
  5. 5 Repeat Steps 3 and 4 with remaining phyllo, oil, and filling to assemble the second pie.
  6. 6 Bake both pies in the preheated oven until the tops are a deep golden brown, 45 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

  2. 2 Place 2 cups flour in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center; drizzle in olive oil and add salt.
  3. 3 Pour in warm water and white wine vinegar, then mix until dough just comes together and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. 4 Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth, using just enough flour to keep it from sticking to the work surface or your hands, 2 or 3 minutes. Continue to knead until dough is supple and elastic, about 5 more minutes.
  5. 5 Wrap dough ball in plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours.
  6. 6 Use a kitchen scale to divide dough into twenty 25-gram portions; roll each portion into a ball. Place on a plate and cover with plastic wrap to prevent dough balls from drying out while you begin to roll them out. Work in batches of 5.
  7. 7 Mix cornstarch and 2 tablespoons flour together in a bowl. Dust a work surface and the first dough ball with cornstarch mixture.
  8. 8 Flatten and roll out into a circle, about 5 inches in diameter. Dust again with cornstarch mixture. Set circle to one side. Roll out 4 more dough balls to about the same diameter and stack them on the first one, dusting each layer with more cornstarch mixture to keep them from sticking together.
  9. 9 When you have 5 circles, roll out the stack to a larger circle about double in size, turning as you go to maintain a round shape. Separate each layer and lay out the circles. Reapply more cornstarch mixture where needed and restack them.
  10. 10 Roll again until the 5-layer stack is paper-thin, about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Place on a sheet of parchment paper; top with another piece of parchment. Gently roll up the dough; wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  11. 11 Repeat with the remaining 15 balls of dough in batches of 5.
