Dough for kalitsounia and pies

Ingredients

    • 1kg flour for all uses
    • water (enough so that the dough does not stick in your hands when kneading it)
    • 1/2 water glass tsikoudia
    • 2tsp. olive oil
    • 1/2 tsp. salt

Preparation

Mix all the ingredients well, knead the dough with your hands and let it rise for 1-2 hours.

Kalitsounia: Roll out the pastry using a rolling pin. Make a big sheet, 1/2 cm thick and cut it in the shape of tea saucer.

Pies: Rollout a thicker pastry sheet and use it without cutting it.
