  3. Make a hole and pour the olive oil and the egg.
  4. Add the milk, the salt and pepper and the vinegar.

  6. Let it mix for about 6 minutes.
  7. If you see that the dough is too tight add couple of teaspoons of water.
  8. If you see that the dough is sticky add couple of tbsp of flour one at a time and let the mixer do the knead for you.
  9. After about 10 minutes of kneading the dough should be ready.
  10. To test it, press it with your finger and make a shallow hole.
  11. If the dough comes to its original shape then it is ready.
  12. If the hole remains then the dough must be worked some more time.
  13. When the dough is ready make two balls one bigger than the other.
  14. The bigger one will make the sheet that will be on the bottom, while the smaller is for the upper sheet.
  15. Let them rest in a warm environment for about 60 minutes.
  16. Open them with a rolling pin one at a time, starting from the bigger one which will be placed on the bottom of the sheet.

  7. Pour the mushrooms’ mixture and cover with the other phyllo sheet.
  8. Beat the other egg and brush the phyllo leaf on top so as to become shiny.
