How to make

Sift the flour with the salt, add the olive oil and 1 cup of water and knead an elastic dough. Divide it into 12 parts and leave them for 1 hour.

Prepare a filling by sauteing the spinach for 6 min. with 3 tbsp water. Drain it and chop it finely. Add the salt and marjoram. Soak the bread in the milk, drain it, mash it and mix with 2 eggs and 2 tbsp parmesan.

Add the cottage cheese, spinach, salt and stir everything. Roll out a piece of dough thinly and put it in an oiled tray so that the ends of the dough stick out above the edges of the tray about 1/2″ (1 cm).

Sprinkle with olive oil and arrange 5 more circles of rolled out dough on top. Put the spinach filling on top and sprinkle with olive oil. Make 4 depressions with a spoon and put a piece of butter and 1 egg in each.

Sprinkle the eggs with salt and parmesan. Roll out the remaining 6 pieces of dough and arrange them on the filling, sprinkling each one with olive oil. Pinch the edges of the pie. Pierce it with a fork in several spots and bake 1 hour and 15 min. at 390°F (200 °C).
