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 the dough becomes soft and pliable, and 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.
Ingredients for the Filling
- 4–5 tomatoes, finely chopped
- 300 g crumbled feta cheese

- 80 g melted butter
Instructions for the Filling
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 160 g balls and roll each one into an elongated shape. Place them on the baking tray.
- Spread the chopped tomatoes on the base of each dough piece, followed by crumbled feta cheese, and top with salami slices.
- Fold and pinch the edges of the dough to form boat-like shapes.
- Bake for approximately 25 minutes, brushing the edges with melted butter 1–2 times during baking.
