Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 50 ml
• Water - 75 ml
• Seaweed flakes (nori or dulse) - 2 tablespoons
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Shallots - 2, finely chopped
• Zucchini - 100 grams, diced
• Carrot - 100 grams, grated
• Cherry tomatoes - 100 grams, halved
• Artichoke hearts (canned) - 100 grams, drained and chopped
• Capers - 1 tablespoon, rinsed
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black pepper - to taste
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, olive oil, and water to form a dough. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and sauté the shallots until translucent. Add the zucchini, carrot, and cherry tomatoes; cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
3. Stir in the artichoke hearts, capers, seaweed flakes, smoked paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Cook for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat and mix in the chopped parsley.
4. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into two circles, about 0.5 cm thick.
5. Place one circle of dough on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spoon the filling onto the center, leaving a border around the edges.
6. Cover with the second circle of dough, pressing the edges to seal. Cut a few slits on top for steam to escape.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
