## Steps

1. Pour the flour into a bowl, add the yeast dissolved in warm water, the olive oil and salt. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. (10 min)
2. Shape the dough into a ball and leave to rise, covered with cling film, for 2 hours. (120 min)
3. Clean and wash the escarole lettuce.
4. In a pan, brown the garlic and chilli flakes, add the anchovies in oil and cook until they melt.
5. Add the escarole leaves and cook on high heat, stirring often.
6. If needed, add a little hot water, cook until the vegetable is tender, then add salt and the olives. Let it cool.
7. Divide the dough into two parts and roll out the first to about 30x20 cm.
8. Spread the cooled escarole filling over the dough, cover with the remaining dough, pinching the edges to seal.
9. Brush with olive oil, cut a few slits to let steam escape, and bake for 30 minutes at 200°C. (30 min)
10. Let it rest for at least 1 hour before serving. (60 min)
