INGREDIENTS

  • einkorn flour – 1.1 lb (500 g)
  • white flour – 2 – 3 tbsp. + for kneading and sprinkling on the worktop
  • fresh yeast – 0.9 oz (25 g)
  • water – 8 fl oz (240 ml) slightly warmed
  • strained yogurt – 2 – 3 tbsp.
  • eggs – 3 pcs.
  • salt – 1 tsp.
  • sugar – 1 tbsp.
  • oil – 4 tbsp.
  • lard – 6 – 7 tbsp. (melted)
  • feta cheese – 9 oz (250 g)
  • butter – 0.5 oz (15 g)

HOW TO COOK

Dissolve the yeast in the slightly warmed water along with the sugar and 2 tbsp. of white flour. Leave it for 5-6 minutes, until it activates.

Put the einkorn flour in a bowl and make a well, in which you can pour the oil, the two eggs – lightly beaten, the yoghurt and the activated yeast. Stir with a spoon first, until all of the ingredients are combined. The dough will begin to separate from the walls of the bowl – it will look like a thick paste.

Transfer it onto a floured surface and sprinkle it with a little flour, knead until it becomes elastic and non-sticky, but at the same time soft and pleasant. At the end of kneading, add salt.

Dip your hands in the melted lard and divide it into 6-7 balls, which you can roll out or stretch out with your fingers into relatively thin crusts.
