Instructions
- First, you have to make the bread dough. You can do it either by hand or using a mixer with a dough hook.

- Use a large bowl and put a few drops of oil and spread it through the bottom. Add the dough into it and cover it. Set it aside till it doubles its size.
- Till you are waiting you can heat a large sauté pan with 2 tbsp oil and cook the onion till you see it that it starts getting caramelized.
- Preheat the oven to 200C and split the dough into 4 pieces and create an oval-like shape.
- Now put in each of the dough pieces the caramelized onions, tomatoes, oregano and feta cheese.
- The ends of each oval-like dough pieces need to twist in order to hold the mixture inside.
- Put them into a baking dish, put on top salt and pepper, sprinkle some extra olive oil and bake for 15-18 mins. When you see that the dough is getting golden brown then you can turn off the oven.
- It is recommended to serve them warm.
