1 beaten egg

Filing:
½ cup tomato puree

Method:
Mix yeast with warm water and ½ tablespoon sugar and 3 tablespoons flour.
Leave for 10 minutes.
Put flour into bowl and add slowly yeast mixture. Add in to bowl olive oil and remaining water. Add a pinch of salt. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes.
Leave for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
In the meantime prepare the tomato sauce from this recipe.


Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until you can make a large rectangle. Using scissors cut edges into middle to leave approx. 10 cm in middle pastry. Please see photos below
