Make a batch of white bread dough ( I use my daily bread recipe, see categories), but don't let the bread rise. Use the dough right after kneading.
Roll out dough, any shape you like, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
Sprinkle with olive oil and 3-4 cloves chopped garlic
Add 4oz crumbled Feta cheese, you can use more if you like
Ordinary Time version: add pepperoni or salami
Bake at 380 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Enjoy!
I love bread, baking and eating.
So, here are some of my favorite bread pictures.
Enjoy!

In a large skillet, heat lard over medium heat. Place the potato strips into the skillet, and fry until golden brown on both sides.
