Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, then add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, then start kneading the dough. Work it until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Peel the kohlrabi, grate it or dice it into small cubes, then sauté it in a little olive oil for 5 minutes, until slightly softened.
4
Add the finely chopped garlic to the softened kohlrabi and sauté for another 1-2 minutes.
5
Divide the risen dough into two parts, then roll them out into circles on a floured surface.
6
Place the sautéed kohlrabi on one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
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 poke a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
10
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
