For this delicious recipe, ideal for a festive dinner or holidays, we will prepare a specialty with a yeast dough, similar to that used for pizza, which will envelop a tasty and aromatic filling. The first step is to prepare the dough. In a large bowl, combine 500 grams of flour, 300 ml of warm water, 1 packet of dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Mix the ingredients well until you obtain a homogeneous dough. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. After kneading, cover it with a clean towel and let it rise for one hour in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
In the meantime, prepare the filling. Wash a bunch of escarole, cut it into pieces, and boil it in salted water for about 5 minutes until it becomes tender. After boiling, drain it well and let it cool. In a pan, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and a crushed garlic clove. Sauté the garlic on low heat until it turns golden, being careful not to burn it, as it will make the dish bitter. Add the boiled escarole, 100 grams of finely chopped green olives, and 2 tablespoons of capers. Let the mixture sauté together for 5-7 minutes so that the flavors combine harmoniously. Once the filling is ready, let it cool.
After the dough has risen, grease a round baking dish with olive oil. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape a ball from the first half and roll it out with a rolling pin, then place it in the dish. Add the escarole, olives, and capers filling, spreading it evenly. Cover the filling with the other half of the dough, ensuring it is well sealed. Let it rise again for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. After the dough has risen again, brush the surface with olive oil and place the dish in the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or until it becomes nicely browned.
When ready, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting. It is delicious both warm and cold, making it a perfect choice for the holiday table, which you will enjoy with your loved ones. This recipe will surely become a family favorite due to its unique combination of flavors and textures.
