First and foremost, prepare the dough. Sift the flour on the table and make a little mountain with a hole in the center. Pour water, two eggs, salt, and olive oil into it. Knead the dough and let it sit for 30 minutes. Divide the dough into five portions: four equal parts and the fifth — larger than the rest. Roll each portion into a thin layer. |

Boil water in a pot and place each layer of dough there. Do not turn off the heat — the water should continue to boil. Remove the dough and transfer it to a container with cold water for about 30 seconds, then let it dry on a towel. |

Make the pie. Place the largest layer of dough in a baking dish greased with butter (the edges should hang down). Lay a quarter of the grated cheese on it and sprinkle it with grated butter. Do this with every layer of dough except the last — it will be used to cover the pie. Roll up the edges of the large layer, fix them with toothpicks, and brush everything with the whipped yolk. |

Bake the pie in the oven at a temperature of 360 °F for approximately 30–40 minutes until it browns. When the pie is done, remove the toothpicks, cut the pastry into pieces, and serve! Remember that this is a hot appetizer. Bon appétit! |
