Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Mix the flour and sift it into a large bowl. Stir the yeast, salt, sugar, and spices to taste into the lukewarm water. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Slowly add the olive oil to the flour and mix with a dough hook. Continue kneading by hand until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 15 minutes. Return it to the bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator. For the filling, finely chop the onion. Add the oil to a hot pot and sauté the onion. Add the minced meat and fry until crisp. Quarter the tomatoes and add them to the pot. Add the diced eggplant and stir well. Deglaze with a little raspberry vinegar to taste. Stir in the canned tomatoes. Season with thyme and oregano. Simmer over medium heat for at least 15 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until thickened. Simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat, and allow to cool. Fold in the Parmesan cheese. Preheat the oven to 230-240 degrees Celsius (450-465 degrees Fahrenheit) using conventional oven heating. Remove the dough from the bowl, knead briefly, and divide into 6-8 equal pieces. Roll out the dough pieces on a well-floured surface into rounds, but not too thin. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of the filling over the bottom half of the dough. Brush the edges with egg, fold them shut, press the edges down evenly, and fold them up. Bake on a baking sheet or baking stone in the oven at 230 degrees Celsius (450 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15-20 minutes.
