Sfakiani Tourta (Cretan MeatPie)

Directions

We boil the meat for 1 hour. We remove it and we cut the meat into small pieces. We put salt, pepper, oregano and lemon. We make the dough by first dissolving the yeast in the warm milk and adding some of the flour. We let it expand and then we add the remaining ingredients and we knead well. We roll out 2 phyllos of half a centimeter thick and we put one on a well oiled baking pan. We add one third of the mizithra cheese, then half of the meat over and then the rest of the mizithra cheese, and then finally we add the rest of the meat. Finally we spread the butter and the staka. We place the second phyllo by turning the edges of the bottom sheet and pressing it with our fingers to close it tight. We spread with egg and we sprinkle with sesame seeds and we bake the meatpie in the oven (180 degrees Celsius) for about 1 hour.
