Step 1
Mix wheat flour sifted with salt with olive oil, juice squeezed from one lemon, and a glass of water. Knead the dough - it should turn out to be not only soft, but also elastic. After placing it in a dish with a deep bottom, cover it with a special cling film on top and set it aside for a while.

Remove the dough from the cup and cut into 3 equal pieces. Turn one of them into a fairly thin round layer and place it on a baking sheet that has been greased with vegetable oil in advance.
Step 4
Place half of the honey and nut filling on a round sheet of dough. Roll out the second part of the dough exactly in this way and cover the laid out mass with it.
Step 5
Place the remaining filling on the second layer and cover it with the last rolled dough piece. After pinching the edges of the future Greek nut pie, moisten its surface with a little water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Send the greek nut pie into the oven, after making small cuts on it, and bake it at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes, that is, until a dark golden crust.
