Preparation Steps
1
Sift the all-purpose flour into a large bowl. Add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix well.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, and start kneading. Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Chop the walnuts and toast them in a dry skillet for a few minutes to enhance their flavor.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts and roll each out into a circle on a floured surface.
5
On one half of each dough circle, place the crumbled goat cheese, grated mozzarella, and toasted walnuts.
6
Drizzle with honey, then season with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, and press the edges together to seal, ensuring the filling doesn't leak out.
8
Brush the top with beaten egg, and poke a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
