After the end of both World War II and the consequent Civil War, Greece was completely destroyed economically and societally. Many families have lost at least one member, that being usually masculine, and poverty was hanging upon them. Infrastructure was non-existent and jobs were as scarce as gold. People of rural areas, although lived better during the wars because of their small farms and their animals, after the wars started to have serious survival problems.
So, they had two alternatives to consider and follow; either to emigrate and chase their luck to other countries or move to urban areas where jobs were more easily found and settle there. As a consequence, a big emigrating wave was created from Greece towards three countries mainly Germany, US and Australia. Plus, many people have started to move from the rural areas to the big centers.
Athens which was the capital of Greece has accepted the largest number of people trying to build a new life. From a few thousands of souls suddenly it has become a four million city. Large buildings have been built, not always in the most elegant and aesthetic way, so as to fulfill the continuously increasing demand for housing.

To be able to serve all these people that were gathered in main cities, several shops have opened in every neighborhood. Butcher stores, little shops selling vegetables/fruits etc., bakery shops, pharmacies, dry cleaners, bookstores and convenient stores formed and continue to form the basic commercial fabric of what we call urban neighborhood. Of course big super markets have opened as well, but people continue to buy and support these types of stores especially now more than ever.
Sausages are a very scrumptious and delicious meze for us and we eat them quite often. You can find another recipe for sausage here. Every butcher has a recipe of his own and you can buy them by the kilo. There are many kinds and from many animals to satisfy everyone’s taste.
I happened to have a spare of 4 sausages from a charity we participated with the team of Food4Good, offered to us by Creta Farm a big Greek company producing ham, sausage, salamis etc. Coincidentally, I buy products from the specific company because I know they follow all the necessary measures to keep their premises safe and clean.

I also received as a gift a whole fromage of Regato from Kerrygold. I buy this cheese regularly, because it melts perfectly over pizza dough and adds a lot of flavor in my gratins. Now, if this isn’t a coincidence, I don’t know what it is! So, I thought I should grasp the opportunity and make something really good for my family. I made a Sausage Fondue plus a Regato Flatbread to accompany it. Both recipes were delicious and after the sausage was gone, we left the little forks and just bathed our breads to the melted cheese. It was so delicious!

Add the cups of cheese and continue to whisk until it is completely incorporated to the mixture.

Transfer the cheese batter to a fondue apparatus and serve.
If you don’t have the apparatus you can serve it on a simple glass bowl, but from time to time you will have to scald it to the microwave.

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp dried basil

Lightly grease a 50cm / 20 in. diameter round pan and place a parchment paper which you will grease as well.
Combine all of the ingredients except the cheese and mix in your electric mixer with the hook at high speed for 60 seconds.
Add all the cheese but a few cubes to put them on top later, beating gently just to combine.
You will have a very sticky dough which you will have to scoop into the prepared pan, cover the pan and form it as rounded bread.

Add on top the few Regato cubes you kept and let it rise at room temperature for 60 minutes, till it’s become puffy.
Preheat oven to 175° C / 375°F.
