  • 2 large Eggs (hard‑boiled, peeled and sliced)
  • 1 medium Onion (diced)
  • 7 oz All-Purpose Flour (for the dough, sifted)
  • 1 tsp Dry Yeast (active dry yeast)
  • 3 tsp Granulated Sugar (2 tsp for dough, 1 tsp for seasoning)

  • 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tsp Oregano (dried)

Instructions

  1. Shred and Sauté Cabbage

    Thinly shred the cabbage, sprinkle with a pinch of salt, and set aside for 5 minutes to draw out moisture. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (≈3 minutes). Add the cabbage and a little extra salt, stir‑fry for about 7 minutes until softened but still slightly crisp.

    Time: PT15M

  2. Boil Eggs

    Place the two eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 9 minutes. Transfer to an ice‑water bath, peel, and slice thinly.

    Time: PT10M

  3. Prepare Yeast Dough

    In a mixing bowl combine the flour, dry yeast, 2 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Add the warm water (38 °C) and 2 tbsp olive oil, mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 6‑8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

    Time: PT10M

  4. First Rise

    Shape the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.

    Time: PT30M

  5. Preheat Oven

    While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).

    Time: PT10M

    Temperature: 350°F

  6. Assemble the Bread

    Lightly oil the baking sheet or loaf pan with a little olive oil. Punch down the risen dough and divide it in half. Press the first half onto the pan, spreading evenly to cover the bottom. Layer the sautéed cabbage, sliced boiled eggs, a sprinkle of salt, pepper, 1 tsp sugar, chopped parsley, and a drizzle of olive oil. Top with the remaining dough, smoothing the surface. Sprinkle dried oregano over the top and drizzle the remaining 1 tsp olive oil.

    Time: PT10M

  7. Bake

    Place the assembled loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

    Time: PT35M

    Temperature: 350°F

  8. Cool and Serve

    Remove the bread from the oven, cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel, and let it cool for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Time: PT15M
