STEP 1 : First, let’s make the dough. Combine in a bowl
Sifted flour, cornflour, salt, sugar and
yeast. Add water at room temperature and
oil. Knead everything together well
with a spoon and then knead into an elastic dough. I did
by hand and the process took about 5 minutes.
STEP 2: The dough should be soft, but elastic, well
form into a ball and not stick to your hands.
STEP 3 : Pour 1 teaspoon of olive oil in the bottom of a bowl
oil and place a ball of dough in it, turning it several times
Turn it over and dip it in the oil on all sides several times.
Cover with clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

and more salt if needed. The sauce is ready!!!
STEP 8 : And in the meantime, our dough…. To be honest, I was afraid that
it wouldn’t come up, because it was a very dense ball.
But to my delight I saw this picture!!!!
The dough had doubled in size!!!
STEP 9 : On a dry work surface let’s move the dough and
Roll out the dough into a rectangle. I ended up with
approximately 25×45 cm. Grease the dough all over
surface, 2 cm from the edges, with melted
with softened butter.
STEP 10 : Roll it up from the smaller end into a tight cylinder.
STEP 11 : And re-roll it into a rectangle. It’s not as big
large. I got about 15×40 cm.
If the butter comes out, that’s okay, we’ll just
spread it on the surface of the rectangle.
STEP 12 : Now let’s fold the dough into an envelope. First one edge….
STEP 13 : Then the other.
STEP 14 : Gather the dough into a ball, securing the seams, place it in the same oiled bowl, cover with clingfilm and
let it rise again, but ……………… in the
the fridge!!! For about 1 hour.
STEP 15 : Meanwhile let’s prepare the filling. Let’s grate

olive oil and smear it all over the surface.
Using a rolling pin, transfer the dough into the mold and
Using a rolling pin transfer the dough into the mold and spread it out tightly, bordering it about 1 cm high.
3 cm high, if it’s bigger it’s okay, we can adjust it afterwards.

STEP 19 : Spread tomato sauce evenly on top.
STEP 20 : Sprinkle grated parmesan on top.
Put in preheated oven on low
until golden brown.
