Lakror with Leeks & Ricotta
1h 25m
A delicious savory pie made with layers of thin dough and a leek and ricotta filling.
Great as a snack or a side dish.
Sift 800 g of all-purpose flour onto a working surface
Add 1 tbsp of salt
Slowly add 550 ml of lukewarm water while mixing by hand. Knead the dough until it comes together
Knead the dough to form a taut ball that slowly bounces back when poked
Place the dough in a bowl with cling wrap pressed directly on it. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 10m to relax and hydrate
Trim and finely chop the white part of 5 leeks
Transfer to a colander and rinse to remove any dirt. Let it drain well
Roll out the dough over a working surface and divide it half. Work on each half to form a ball, and divide them into 2 parts one more time. Knead each piece of dough to form 4 taut balls
Sprinkle all-purpose flour over 1 piece of dough, and roll it out until you have a ½ cm thick circle. Repeat with the remaining dough. The lakror pie dough is ready
Transfer the leeks to a large sauté pan and add 4 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
Add ½ tbsp of salt
Sauté over medium heat, add ¼ cup of water, and cook until soft. Add more water if necessary
Add 1½ cups of yogurt and stir to combine
Add 3 eggs and simmer on low heat until the mix thickens
Add ½ cup of ricotta and stir to combine. The leak & ricotta stuffing is ready
Grease a pizza pan with extra virgin olive oil
Carefully transfer a sheet of dough to the bottom of the tray
Add the Leek & Ricotta Stuffing
Add another sheet of dough. Trim the outer edge and fold the inner edge over itself to seal the dough
Sprinkle the dough with a bit of water
Grill it with a pizza cover until the dough is cooked and lightly charred. The lakror with leeks & ricotta is ready
Enjoy!
