Chef’s Tip:

Preparation


Preparing the Dough

1

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, mix flour and salt.

2

Add Wet Ingredients

Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

3

Knead and Rest

Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.

Preparing the Filling

1

Heat Oil

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.

2

Sauté Aromatics

Add onions and garlic, sauté until aromatic.

3

Cook Swiss Chard

Stir in Swiss chard until wilted; season with salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

Ensure the filling is completely cooled before assembling to prevent the dough from getting soggy. Pro Tip: Pat the Swiss chard dry after washing to avoid excess moisture.

Cooking Process


1

Rolling the Dough

Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each out thinly on a floured surface to large circles.

2

Filling the Dough

Spread the cooled chard mixture evenly over one of the dough circles, leaving a small border.

3

Sealing the Soparnik

Place the second circle over the filling and press edges to seal, tucking in any excess dough.

Never leave hot oil unattended. Keep a lid nearby …
