Ingredients

For the Dough
1 pound flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 glass of olive oil and vegetable oil (half and half)

For the Filling

15 glasses diced butternut squash/pumpkin
3tbsps crushed wheat
1 glass olive oil
Salt
1 level tablespoon pepper
1 level tablespoon ground cinnamon
3-4tbsps tablespoons sugar
1 tea cup raisins

Method

The night before, dice the pumpkin into small cubes and combine with all the crushed wheat, salt, oil, spices and raisins. Stir, cover with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 12 hours.

The next day add the sugar and stir well.

To make the dough, mix the flour with the oil and combine the mixture. Using your fingers, rub the oil into the flour till the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Knead with as much water as needed to make a firm dough.

Roll out the dough into relatively thin sheets (medium thickness). Make sure the sheets aren't too thin.

Take the dough pieces, one by one, by the narrow side and put 2 tablespoons of filling on half of each piece. Pull the other half sheet to cover the filling. Press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.

Place the pies on ungreased, floured baking trays and bake in a pre-heated moderate oven (150*C) for about 30 minutes or till golden brown.
