Knead the dough

Prepare the filling
Chop the onion, green pepper and tomato into small pieces. Dilute the tomato paste with 1/2 glass of water. Mix the salami/ham, vegetables, tomato paste mixture, basil, thyme and stuffing salt in a bowl.
Preheat the oven, prepare the counter
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Lightly flour the counter with 3 tablespoons of flour and place the dough on it.
Shape the dough into balls and roll them out
Divide the dough into 6 equal parts. Roll each piece and roll it out to the size of a small plate. If the dough gets too lumpy, let it rest for 2-3 minutes and roll it out again.
Fill and close
