Ladenia from Milos

EXECUTION

1. In a bowl, we dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water, add 3 tablespoons flour and leave the mix in a warm place for 10΄.
2. We add the remaining flour and olive oil in the yeast mix and we knead it until it becomes an elastic dough; we leave it aside to rest for 10’.
3. We cut the tomatoes in thick slices, place them in a strainer and sprinkle them with coarse salt.
4. We pour half the olive oil in a large baking pan, add the dough and press it with our hands so as to spread it all over the pan.
5. We leave the dough (ladenia) for 20’ in a warm place and then add the onions and tomatoes; we sprinkle it with coarse salt and pour the rest of the olive oil over it.
6. We preheat the oven at 200°C and bake the lathenia at 180°C for 45 min.
7. We serve the lathenia hot or cold.
