Method
- Dough: mix all the ingredients and leave to rest for about 1 h. Make 2 balls, one smaller, and roll out the bigger one, fill it and cover with the other rolled-out piece. Decorate as you like, cutting a slit in the centre. Brush with plant milk.
- Filling: cook the onion with a splash of oil, add the red pepper in strips and let them caramelise. Add the chopped tomato and salt and let it cook well. Add the soy and stir so it takes on the flavour, then add the lentils. After a few minutes add the hemp seeds and paprika and leave for a few minutes. Let the filling cool before filling the dough.
- Bake at 200° for about 45 min.
