Dough
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup warm water
2 tbsp spoons oil
1/2 spoon oregano
dash of salt

Mix ingredients; knead for about 2-3 minutes; adding flour to until it
doesn't stick to the hands - separate into 3 equal parts

a couple of chopped green shallots (can replace with 1/3 white onion)
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
1/3 pound feta cheese
salt, pepper, thyme

mix ingredients 

Assembly
Roll out the 3 dough balls- so that each one is a bit bigger than your
baking pan (use 8x12 in.)- the amount of dough, for that size will
give you the right thickness

place the first layer on the greased pan, with ends hanging over the
pan rim - add half the filling

follow on with the second dough layer -add the rest of the filling

finish off with the last dough layer; fold the dough layers together

pluck a few holes, making sure you go through the second layer of
dough
