Greek Spinach Pie w:Homemade Crust Kourou 2 ways!
There can’t ever be too many spanakopita recipes. In this version, I combined the classic spinach pie filling with tender kourou pastry. As a result, a delicious combination of flavors emerged. Since life is all about options, I made two different versions: mini pies, also known as pitakia in greek and turnovers or hand pies in English. Call them whatever you want because, in the end, they are delicious!
Print this recipe on my blog:
Makes 2 pies or 36 turnovers
For the Kourou dough:
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup olive oil
1 cup Greek Yogurt (strained yogurt) or sour cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
• 1-pound baby spinach leaves, roughly chopped
• 6 scallions, finely sliced
• 3 teaspoons dried dill
• 15 ounces ricotta cheese
• 1-pound feta cheese, crumbled
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Black pepper to taste
Eggwash: 2 egg yolks with 3-4 tablespoons of milk/water
Make the kourou dough:
Note: Make a double batch of the kourou dough to use up all of the filling.
Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl and whisk together.
Combine the olive oil, yogurt, egg, and lemon juice together in a large bowl and whisk together until smooth. The mixture will look curdled but, that’s ok!!
Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Once the mixture becomes too thick to use the whisk, switch to your hands, and knead it until a dough comes together.
Cover with plastic or with a kitchen towel and set aside at room temperature to rest for 30 minutes.
Make the filling:
Combine the feta cheese, ricotta, eggs, oil, salt, pepper, and dill in a tabletop mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until combined.
Add the scallions and beat until combined.
While the mixer is running on low add a handful of chopped spinach at a time until all of the spinach is incorporated.
Mix everything together with a spatula and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 °F, 200 °C.
Lightly grease your work surface with olive oil. This will help the pastry roll out very easily.
Cut the dough into two equal portions. Cut each portion into 8 pieces.
Roll each portion out into a ball.
Gently roll out each ball into a 5-inch round circle. You can do this using your fingertips to press the dough gently out into a circle. Use a rolling pin if you prefer doing it that way but do not add any flour to the dough otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
Place a tablespoon full of the filling onto the rolled-out circles.
Add some crumbled feta or your favorite cheese, if desired.
Fold over to cover the filling.
Gently press the edges together to seal.
Place the pies onto the prepared baking pan. 8 on each tray.
Use a fork to press down the edges to create a decorative design.
Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash
Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden.
Halfway through baking, rotate the trays. Place the bottom tray on the top rack and the top tray on the bottom for even baking.
Serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes:
The turnovers can be stored in the freezer (before they are baked) for up to 3 months.
Place the filled pastries onto a baking tray and chill them in the freezer until they are hard. Transfer them into freezer-safe bags/containers. It is better to freeze them without the egg wash.
When ready to bake, place the frozen pastries onto a baking tray(s) lined with parchment paper, brush with egg wash and bake in a preheated 350 °F oven until golden. About 40 minutes. They do not have to be thawed. They can be baked frozen.
For the pie, wrap it with foil and then with plastic. It will keep fresh in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to bake, place it in a cold oven and then set the temperature to 350 °F. Bake for 1 and 1/2 hours or until golden and the filling is bubbling.

Ingredients:
7-10 Phyllo (fillo) sheets, at room temperature
1/3-1/2 cup (80-120ml) Olive oil
2 pounds (900g) Spinach
1 Large onion, chopped
2-3 Spring onions, chopped
1/4 bunch Parsley, chopped
1/4 bunch Dill, chopped
12oz (340g) Feta cheese
12oz (340g) Ricotta cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1 teaspoon Dried oregano
Lemon zest from one lemon
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
2. Make the filling: in a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add chopped onion and sauté over medium heat until golden, add spinach and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
3. Drain excess liquids and transfer to a large bowl. Crumble the feta cheese and ricotta cheese into the bowl, then add chopped spring onions, parsley, dill, lemon zest and spices. Mix until well combined and set aside.
4. Assembly: brush the bottom of a 9X13 inch (22X33cm) rectangle pan or 11-inch (28cm) round pan with olive oil. Take a sheet of pastry and place in the baking dish, that way so that some of the pastry hangs over the side. Brush with olive oil. Add 2-3 more sheets in the same manner, and brush them with olive oil between every layer.
5. Evenly spread the spinach and feta filling over the phyllo crust. Then, cover with 3 layers of phyllo, brushing with olive oil in between the layers. Fold the flaps or excess from the sides and brush the top layers with olive oil.
6. Using a very sharp knife cut the pie into rectangles or any other shape.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with fresh Greek salad:
