Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar, then mix well.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, then start kneading. Knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough, then cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Peel the potato, dice it into small cubes, and boil it in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes, then drain.
4
Dice the bacon and fry it in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes.
5
Mash the cooked potato with a fork, add the finely chopped garlic, the fried bacon, and a pinch of black pepper.
6
Divide the risen dough into two parts, then roll them out into circles on a floured surface.
7
Place the potato and bacon mixture on one half of each dough circle, then sprinkle with grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
8
Sprinkle oregano, basil and a pinch of black pepper over the filling.
9
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press the edges together to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out.
10
Brush the top with beaten egg, and poke a few holes with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
11
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
