👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
For the dough: Mix flour, lukewarm water, 2 tbsp olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. Knead until smooth and elastic.
💡 Pro Tips: The dough should be soft but not sticky. - 2
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- 3
Wash the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then drain and shock in ice water.
💡 Pro Tips: Blanching makes the chard easier to handle and reduces its bitterness. - 4
Squeeze out as much water as possible from the blanched chard. Chop the leaves finely.
💡 Pro Tips: Thoroughly squeezing out water is crucial to prevent a soggy pie. - 5
In a bowl, combine the chopped chard, minced garlic, 150 ml olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and pepper.
- 6
Preheat your oven or prepare your grill for baking at a high temperature (around 220°C/430°F).
- 7
On a floured surface, roll out one portion of dough very thinly into a round shape, about 30-35 cm in diameter.
💡 Pro Tips: Aim for a translucent dough. - 8
Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the chard filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
💡 Pro Tips: Don't overfill, as it can make it difficult to seal. - 9
Roll out the second portion of dough thinly into a similar size. Place it over the filling.
💡 Pro Tips: Ensure the top layer is also thin. - 10
Trim the edges and crimp them together to seal the pie. You can also fold the top edge over the bottom edge and press to seal.
💡 Pro Tips: A good seal prevents the filling from leaking. - 11
Brush the top of the Šoparnik with a little olive oil. Make a few small holes with a fork or knife to allow steam to escape.
💡 Pro Tips: This helps to achieve a crispier crust. - 12
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
- 13
Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Traditionally baked on a wood-fired hearth, but a hot oven or grill works well.
- ✓The key to good Šoparnik is very thin dough and plenty of olive oil.
- ✓Ensure the chard is very well drained to avoid a soggy bottom.
