Ingredients
130 g. olive oil
125 g. margarine very cold from the freezer
1 sachet of dry yeast
1/2 cup of lukewarm water
1 egg
125 g. sheep yogurt
150 g. milk or kefir
250 g. self rising flour
500 g. all-purpose flour

Instructions
How to make the dough
Put the yeast in a cup of lukewarm
water and dissolve it.
Put in a large bowl the oil.
Grate in the bowl the cold margarine
with a tomato grater.
Mix with a fork these two
ingredients.
Add into the bowl the dissolved
yeast and mix with the fork again.
Beat the egg lightly and add it into
the bowl.
Stir with the fork and pour in the
yogurt and milk or kefir.
Add the flour.
Knead well. If the dough sticks to
hands add flour.
If the dough is hard, add a little
oil or a little water or a little milk to soften it.
Cover the bowl with a clean fluffy towel
and leave it in a warm place.
This dough is sufficient for a big pie
in a pan with dimensions in cm 31CH41CH5 or two pies in round pan with a
diameter of 28 cm.
How to make the sheet
For one circular pie you need only half
of the dough.
Take half the dough and divide it in
two half’s.
Take one piece and with your hands
give it a round shape.
Oile and flour a nonstick pan, 28
cm in diameter.
Put the circular piece of dough into
the pan and open it with your hands.
Your sheet should be big enough to
cover the bottom and the sides of the pan.
The sheet must not be very thick.
If it seems to you too thick, remove some dough.
Spread the sheet over and inevitably
it becomes thinner.
Place the pan in the preheated oven
and cook the sheet for 15 min at 180 C degrees.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it
cool.
