Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil (about 2-3 tablespoons) into a large baking pan (approximately 9x13 inches or a similar size) ensuring the bottom and sides are well coated.
Prepare the Garlic Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, warm water, 1/2 cup of olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until you have a smooth, pourable batter, similar to a thin pancake batter. Ensure there are no lumps.
Pour and Bake
Carefully pour the batter into the prepared oiled baking pan. It should spread thinly across the bottom. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to crisp and turn golden.
Add Toppings and Finish Baking
Remove the pan from the oven. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh oregano over the partially baked flatbread. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the Alevropita is golden brown, crispy around the edges, and the feta is slightly browned and bubbling.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares or pieces. Serve warm, either as a hearty appetizer or a comforting main course, perhaps with a simple salad.
Enhance The Garlic Flavor
To enhance the garlic flavor, you can briefly sauté the minced garlic in a tablespoon of olive oil before adding it to the batter. This mellows the raw garlic bite and brings out its sweetness.
