Method

1. 1

   In a bowl, knead flour, yeast, sugar, salt, half the olive oil, and warm water into a soft dough and let it ferment.

2. 2

   In a separate pan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté finely chopped onions until translucent.

3. 3

   Add tomato and pepper pastes along with the kömbe spice to the onions, sauté for a few minutes, and let the filling cool.

4. 4

   Divide the fermented dough into two equal parts, roll out the first part to fit a baking tray, and place it inside.

5. 5

   Spread the cooled filling evenly over the dough and cover with the second dough sheet.

6. 6

   Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for about 45 minutes until golden brown.

Note. If you cannot find kömbe spice, you can make your own blend using allspice, cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.
