Best Greek Pita Recipe - Tiropita - Yummy Cheese Pie with Homemade Filo Pastry.

There is no better pita!! After a bit of experimentation and weighing out, this is my version of my mum’s recipe.
A week or two later I made my own pita for the very first time: • Greek Pita recipe. A y... .
I don’t have a large round tray, so I use two rectangular trays 30 cm x 20 cm x 3 cm.
Ingredients:
480 g flour
300 g warm water
About 2 tbsp. salt
Olive oil (Greeks rarely say “olive oil”, they just say oil; there is no need to specify what kind because there is no other kind!!)
About 1 tbsp. sugar
4 eggs per tray (this recipe is for two smaller trays)
220 g feta per tray (which is about 1 slab, or “feta”, from the Dodoni feta container)
These last two are prepared in separate bowls for ease of preparation.
Instructions:
Mix the water, salt, sugar and a dash of oil. Pour in the flour. Mix and knead dough. Roll out into snake and then cut into 16 pieces (8 per tray). This allows a 3:2:3 configuration (3 layers of filo down first, egg/feta mixture, 2 filo layers, more egg/feta, three more layers). Flatten dough ball and leave for 30 minutes.
Prepare egg and feta mixture.
Roll out each filo with a rolling pin and lay onto tray. Pour a little oil and then repeat. (My mum rolled out all the filos (in Greek plural, the “fila”) first, but I don’t. I roll out and place!
Bake at 180°C for about 35 minutes.

They don't make mothers/Yiayias like this anymore! Truly wonderful

[@beautifullyhealedroses]

So far the best technique I've seen on KZbin- thank you to your Mother.

[@angamanu162]

I was expecting you to give a kiss to your beautiful mom! God bless her hands that was one excellent greek pie🤩

[@aaronkastriotiseni1406]

I love how sshe uses detergent container for olive oil 😁 Pie looks great!

[@gzimedzeladini5047]

😂 I looked too where she put the oil

[@roxanna3779]

Sheer genius - great idea, very resourceful!

[@athanasiossclavos2760]

God tier level I been rolling out my own filo. I make a pie every week give or take I’m going to dabble with a thinner dowel and watch this about a few hundred times. Tiropita is the ultimate breakfast snack

[@annakostantinidis4306]

I have watched endless videos of people make pita from scratch including my mother, aunties and mother in law, by far, your mothers technique is one of the best I have seen and I will attempt to make it your mums way. I make my own filo, but not like this. Thank you for sharing, it's so important to keep these traditions alive.

[@LiacosEM]

Thanks, Anna. I hope it goes well. I assumed that everyone made filo in exactly the same way, the way my mum makes it!

[@annakostantinidis4306]

@@LiacosEM definately not...there are so many different ways depending on region.

Tiri Que Afga,poly kalo mama “BRAVO”😛😋

[@HopeLaFleur1975]

I am always on the hunt for a good phyllo recipe, and growing up all my neighbours were Greek, we NEVER had the store bought phyllo now. And I want to recreate the authentic pita, as we used to call it. this looks amazing, and delicious... so clever of your mom to use the dish soap dispenser for olive oil!! easier to use rather than a pastry brush. I am definitely going to try this.. I know there are no exact measurements. But the phyllo sheets she made are so perfect! 😄

[@antoniodelrey164]

Made the old way which is the best! Way to go Mum!My mother mad her dough similarly but used yeast. Other than that basically the same and the best crusty kora/filo. World Class Mums!

[@iren4675]

Gongratulations this is original traditional Creek tiropita. Thank you 😊

[@vasileiost687]

Congratulations to your mother! The way she makes the pitta is impressive. Thank you for sharing this video.

Haven't seen kneading like that in years. Appreciate this demonstration from your Mom. Thank you.

[@stephitupwithstephanie6620]

Nothing better than watching a γιαγιά opening filo pastry. Done beautifully.

[@LiacosEM]

Indeed! Every filo was a perfect circle. When I tried it, I had bits sticking out all over the place!

[@rosecase7311]

It reminds me of my enemies when I went to Cyprus and I watched her cooking.You're awesome❤

[@infinitelyblessed359]

Thanks for the video! My mom used to roll out her own dough ad make Pita, but like a teenager, I never paid attention to the process. However, thanks to your video I Now have it and I'm going to make my own from now on :) Tomorrows meal will be Triopita, OPA!!! :)

Excellent recipe and presentation. It has many names depending on which country or region but we call it Pita too! You mother uses lots of cheese and that is so awesome and she uses her stick like the pro that she is. Enjoy that awesome Pita! She makes it look easy but I takes time to get that good.

[@LiacosEM]

[@kathyg.8960]

I love watching yia yia's make things from scratch. I make everything from scratch with the exception of filo. Love the palmolive oil holder. Cutest hack ever. 😊 Ps I have spanikopita in the oven right now. 😁

[@LiacosEM]

Filo from the supermarket is great but home-made is probably better. There's an extra crunch factor! But there only so many hours in a day.

[@ggkoukla]

Yes! I'm alway too impatient to make the filo by hand like my yiayias. I love to see this done wholly from scratch. I put my time and love into buttering layers 😂 I do sheet pans but love this method. Tiropita is my #1 comfort food. Making it is therapeutic and end result is heaven on Earth.

[@cr0atennis]

Amazing! Well done Yia Yia.
