Instructions
- Make the dough by mixing the flour, salt, lukewarm water and 2 tablespoons of oil, then knead for 10 minutes until soft and smooth.
- Let it rest, covered, for 30 minutes.
- Wash the chard, remove the stalks and finely chop the leaves with the parsley and mint.
- Sauté the thinly sliced onions in 2 tablespoons of oil, add the garlic, then the chard, and let it reduce for 10 minutes over medium heat.
- Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then let it cool.
- Divide the dough in two and roll each half into a very thin disc.
- Spread half of the filling over one disc, cover with the second, pinch the edges together and prick the top.
- Bake in an oiled dish at 220 °C (425 °F) for 35 to 40 minutes, until the crust is golden, then let it cool slightly before cutting.
Variations and tips
Beet greens version. Replace the chard with beet greens, a little milder in flavor but just as authentic.
