Ingredients

Dough

  • 500 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 50 g Yeast, dry

  • 1 pinch Saffron, dry

  • 70 g Butter, unsalted

  • 1 teaspoon Salt, table

  • 250 g Sausage, chorizo

  • 250 g Dry salami, pork

  • 200 g Dry salami, pork

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

Steps

  1. Pour half a cup of warm water into a bowl and add yeast and one cup of flour. Mix the ingredients together to form a small dough, shaping it into a ball. Cover the bowl with a cotton cloth and place it in a warm, draft-free spot. Let the dough rise for at least 45 minutes until it doubles in size.

  2. In a larger bowl, mix the remaining flour, saffron, and salt. Place a small pot on the stove and melt 60 g of butter. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and mix everything together. Make a well in the center, place the risen dough in it, and knead everything well to form a smooth and elastic dough that doesn’t stick to your hands or the bowl. Shape the dough into a ball, cover the bowl with a cotton cloth, and let it rise for another 45 minutes until it doubles in size.

  3. While the dough is rising, slice the dry salami and spicy sausage into larger rings. Hard-boil one egg. Quickly fry the dry salami, spicy sausage, and ham in a pan and set aside. Knead the risen dough briefly and divide it into 2 parts.

  4. Grease a baking dish with butter and spread half of the dough to the edges. Arrange the ham and both salamis over the dough. Peel the hard-boiled egg and slice it into thin rings, placing them over the meat. Roll out the second piece of dough on a floured surface and place it over the filling. Press the edges together firmly with your fingers. Cover the baking dish with a cloth and place it in an unheated oven for 1 hour.

  5. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Crack the remaining egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork. Prick the dough in several places with a fork and brush it with the beaten egg. If there is any dough left, you can shape it into a lattice to decorate the pie.

  6. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and check if it’s done by inserting a toothpick. The pie is done if the toothpick comes out clean. If not, return the pie to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

  7. Let the pie cool for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
