Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan. Add the onion and peppers and cook for 3-4 mins, stirring, over medium-low heat. Add tomatoes, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper and cook for about 15 mins, until vegetables are ready.", "Let cool completely, drain oil form vegetables. Before adding to the dough, oil should be cold. Its fine to do this step a day ahead.", "To make Dough: Sift flour in a bowl. Add salt, paprika and yeast. Combine everything well.

Divide dough into two equal parts. Roll out first part and place stuffing on top. Roll out second one, put on top and seal the edges. Make small holes using fork. According to original recipe you can also brush the top with egg yolk, but as for me, dough had wonderful color due to the oil.", "Bake for 30-40 mins. Its good warm or cold.", "You can also make it ahead, keep in the fridge and bake the next day."]
