Wash all greens and set them out to dry.

In a bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Gradually add water and mix with hands until a very soft dough forms.

Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it springs back and doesn't stick.

Cover the dough with cling wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Thinly slice the Swiss chard and parsley, and chop the green part of the spring onions.

Transfer the chopped greens to a large bowl and massage with olive oil and salt.

Cut the dough in half and roll out one half into a thin circle.

Layer the greens on top of the rolled dough, leaving a border.

Roll out the second half of the dough into a circle and place it over the greens.

Seal the edges by pinching and twisting, and poke holes for steam to escape.

Bake in the oven at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Brush the top with olive oil and finely chopped garlic before serving.
