Mix flour, salt, and olive oil in a bowl until crumbly.

Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Sauté leeks in olive oil over medium heat until soft, about 5 minutes.

Add spinach to the leeks and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine the cooled vegetable mixture with crumbled feta, eggs, and black pepper.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Divide the dough into two portions; roll out one portion into a thin circle.

Place the rolled dough in a greased baking dish, allowing the edges to hang over.

Spread the filling evenly over the dough in the dish.

Roll out the second portion of dough and cover the filling, sealing the edges.

Brush the top with melted butter and cut slits for steam to escape.

Bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown.

Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
