Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Zucchini - 200 grams, grated
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Vegan cheese (optional) - 50 grams

Steps

1. In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast, stirring gently. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture and olive oil, then knead until a smooth dough forms (about 5-7 minutes).
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the filling by heating a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.
5. Add the grated zucchini, tomato paste, black pepper, and paprika to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the zucchini is tender. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into an oval shape on a lightly floured surface.
8. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the zucchini filling onto the center of each oval, leaving a border around the edges.
9. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a boat shape. Optionally, sprinkle vegan cheese on top of the filling.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
