  3. Add the cheese, the onions, the pepper, the smoked pork, the egg and the trahanas & mix well. Optionally season with pepper.
  4. Roll out the first dough package into a large rectangle sheet, appx. 40×50cm/15.7″×19.6″
  5. Using a spoon, put filling along the sheet’s shorter sides. Cover the filling with the sheet and roll towards the middle. Cut in half.
  6. Now you have two rolls. Gently stretch each roll until its length is doubled.
  7. Swirl the first roll creating a spiral. Place it in the center of a lightly oiled pan. (32cm/12.6″ diameter)
  8. Take the edge of the other roll and carefully transfer it into the pan, encircling the first one.
  9. Repeat the process for the second pastry sheet and fill your pan.
  10. Brush with olive oil & prick the dough with a fork to allow air circulation.
  11. Bake in a preheated oven, at 190°C/375°F, for about 45min until it’s golden brown. Enjoy!
  12. Info: Trahanas is added to the filling to absorb the excess moisture. You can replace it with semolina or white rice.
  13. Tips: •If the sheet is torn, cut a small piece of dough from the edge and seal the hole. •Wrap the pie -baked or unbaked- with food membrane and keep it in the freezer for up to a month. Place it in the fridge overnight to thaw it properly whether you want to reheat or bake it.
