Kreatopita
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to make. I would like to offer a step-by-step recipe with photos of this wonderful pastry. Kreatopita can be prepared for a family dinner, as a snack during the day, or even for the arrival of unexpected guests. In winter, when tomatoes are best avoided, I use canned tomatoes in their own juice or tomato paste. In summer, you can use two or three ripe tomatoes blended in a blender. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
