Karpouzopita, which comes from the words ‘karpouzi’ (watermelon) and ‘pita’ (pie) is a traditional Greek recipe coming from the island of Milos in the Cyclades. This unique and refreshing treat combines the natural sweetness of watermelon with a simple sesame crust.
Karpouzopita (Watermelon Pie)
Homemade Phyllo Pastry
Making pita with homemade phyllo pastry is very satisfying. I use this recipe to make savoury pies like our ground meat pie. This traditional recipe makes enough for 20 sheets of phyllo for a 10″ (25cm) round pan.
