Ingredients

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Gradually add warm water, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Roll the dough into a large oval shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the cheese with a pinch of pepper. Spread the cheese mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
  4. Crack an egg into the center of the cheese layer. Brush the edges with melted butter.
  5. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
