Greek Cheese Pie
For the dough: Mix the first five ingredients, knead for about 2-3 minutes, adding more flour if needed until dough doesn't stick to the hands. Divide into 3 equal parts. For the filling: Combine the remaining ingredients except the eggs. Heat until the cheese starts to melt. Allow to cook to room temperature, then mix in the beaten eggs. Lightly oil a 8x12 deep baking pan. Roll out the 3 dough balls so that each one is a bit bigger than the prepared pan. Place the first layer of dough in the pan, with ends hanging over the pan rim, add half the filling, follow in with the second dough layer, add the rest of the filling, finish off with the last dough layer, fold the dough layers together and crimp lightly. Pluck a few holes in the pie, making sure you go through the second layer of dough. Bake for about 45 minutes at 400 degrees.
