Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, sift in the all-purpose flour, add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix well.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, and start kneading. Work it into a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Slice the jalapeño peppers into thin rings, and finely chop the garlic.
4
In a skillet, sauté the garlic in a little olive oil for 1 minute, then add the jalapeños and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
5
Divide the risen dough into two parts, then roll each part into a circle on a floured surface.
6
Spread tomato sauce on one half of each dough circle, then place the jalapeño mixture, grated mozzarella, and cheddar cheese on top.
7
Sprinkle the filling with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
8
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press the edges together to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out.
9
Brush the top with beaten egg, and use a fork to poke a few holes to allow steam to escape during baking.
10
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
