Ingredients for the Dough
- 1 kg all-purpose flour
- 1 packet dry yeast
- 1 heaping tbsp salt
- 450–500 g lukewarm water
- 60 g milk
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions for the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, salt, and olive oil. Mix well.
- Add the milk, then gradually pour in the water while kneading until you have a soft, pliable dough that doesn’t stick to your hands.
- Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Instructions for the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

- In the center of each dough piece, layer 3–4 tomato slices, crumbled feta, olives, and drizzle with olive oil.
