Preparation
Preparing the Dough
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix flour and salt.
Add Wet Ingredients
Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead and Rest
Knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Filling
Heat Oil
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Sauté Aromatics
Add onions and garlic, sauté until aromatic.
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
Rolling the Dough
Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll each out thinly on a floured surface to large circles.
Filling the Dough
Spread the cooled chard mixture evenly over one of the dough circles, leaving a small border.
Sealing the Soparnik
Place the second circle over the filling and press edges to seal, tucking in any excess dough.
