Combine 700 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 16 grams of baking powder in a bowl.

2

Add 70 milliliters of olive oil, 150 milliliters of white oil, and 150 milliliters of water to the flour mixture.

3

Mix everything together until well combined.

4

Add 2 eggs and continue to knead the dough for a few minutes until it forms a round shape.

5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

6

Chop 3 onions and 2 bell peppers, and grate 4 tomatoes.

7

Heat a skillet with oil and sauté the onions and bell peppers until softened.

Add the grated tomatoes to the skillet, and a bit of water if the mixture is too dry.

Once the filling is cooked, let it cool down.

Roll out the rested dough into two pieces, making them thin.

Roll out the second piece of dough to cover the filling, and press the edges down with fingers and a fork to seal.

Brush the top with beaten egg.

16

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
