Ingredients

  • olive oil
  • 1 onion finely diced
  • 1/2 green bell pepper diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon sweet paprika
  • 1 tomato diced
  • 1 ham hock boiled and shredded
  • white wine
  • 1 container broccoli rabe drained and chopped
  • salt
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 strip brie cheese rind removed
  • chorizo sausage cubed
  • 8 cups flour
  • salt
  • 7/8 cup milk
  • 7/8 cup white wine
  • 7/8 cup sunflower oil
  • 1 egg for dough plus 1 beaten for basting later

Method

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat up the olive oil and saute the onion and bell peppers until softened.
  • Add the sweet paprika, tomato, and ham hock.
  • Add a splash of white wine and let the mixture simmer until it has thickened a bit.
  • Add in the broccoli rabe, salt and pepper to taste, stir everything together, and let simmer a few minutes more.
  • Set aside.
  • Make the dough.
  • Add a handful of flour to a large bowl, along with a pinch of salt.
  • Add the milk, white wine, sunflower oil, and 1 egg, and stir everything with a fork until you have a semi-liquid dough.
  • Keep adding flour little by little while mixing with the fork until the dough starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  • When that happens, transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and start to knead it while adding in the rest of the dough. Knead until the dough is soft, elastic, and no longer sticky.
  • Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each portion out into the thinnest rectangle possible.
  • Place one rectangle on the baking tray.
  • Smear on half of the filling, leaving about a 1-centimeter border on all sides of the rectangle.
  • Top with the Brie cheese and chorizo sausage.
  • Place another dough rectangle on top of the first.
  • Cut off any excess and fold the bottom part of dough over the top part of dough. Pinch the edges.
  • Make a hole in the center of the dough so steam escapes, and baste the top with the beaten egg.
  • Repeat with the other 2 portions of dough and the remainder of the filling.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
