Fry bacon and cut into tiny bits. Set aside to cool.
Dice bell peppers about ¼inch thick and chop the basil leaves.
In a small bowl, mix cheese, bell peppers, bacon and basil leaves.
In the palm of your hand, mold cheese mixture into a big ball. Set aside ½ cup of the mixture to use as topping.
Dust your work surface with semolina and flour (The semolina will crisp the surface of the pastry).Knead dough gently for about 5 minutes or till smooth. Shape dough into a ball.
Using the palm of your hands and fingers, press the dough down in the middle and then press outward. Flatten the dough out into a circle (about 22 cm wide) making sure it is thicker in the center and thin around the edges. ( You can watch the video to see how it is done)
Place the cheese ball in the center of the flattened pastry and fold the edges over the cheese ball till it is all covered.
Transfer the pastry unto a well floured wooden chopping board. Gently flatten till it is 8 inches wide. Ensure the wooden board is floured enough for the pastry to easily slide out. Beat an egg and glaze the top of your pastry. Top with the leftover cheese mixture.
Slide unto the oven floor and immediately turn down the heat of the oven to 150°c. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
Enjoy.
