Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt more if preferred
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 stick butter cold and cut into cubes
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups milk with 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped kalamata olives
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 handful fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat over to 375 degrees F.
  • In small mixing bowl, stir together milk with vinegar and let sit for about five minutes.
  • In medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda and sugar. With pastry blade, or in food processor, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture appears crumbly.
  • In small bowl, lightly whisk together milk mixture with egg.
  • Add wet mixture to dry mixture and stir or process until just combined. Dough will be shaggy (on the wet and gooey side). Add a little more flour if dough appears too wet to form. Stir in cheese, garlic, olives, parsley and basil.
  • With spatula, add dough evenly to greased skillet. With large knife, score the top like you would cut a pie (see photo). Garnish with a little more parsley and bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned on top.
