Steps
- 1
In a bowl, combine all the flours, salt, oil, and the lightly beaten egg. Mix with a spoon, gradually adding enough water to form a firm dough. You may need a little more or less water depending on the size of the egg and the flours used.
- 2
Knead the dough well by hand until it becomes smooth and compact. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- 3
Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Clean the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, and cook it in a steamer basket in a pressure cooker for ten minutes. Alternatively, roast it in the oven for about 30 minutes until very soft.
- 4
Mash the pumpkin flesh well with a fork. Using a fine strainer, drain out as much liquid as possible. For best results, do this a few hours ahead so the pumpkin can release more moisture.
- 5
Place the pumpkin in a bowl with the ricotta and egg white. Mix well, season with salt and pepper, and add the sesame seeds.
- 6
Take the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a sheet of parchment paper to fit your baking pan. Transfer it to the pan. Sprinkle a little breadcrumbs over the base, then fill with the pumpkin mixture. Smooth the top and trim the edges of the dough.
- 7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35–40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving—it tastes even better at room temperature!
- 8
With any leftover dough, you can make delicious crackers: roll out the dough, cut into rectangles, prick with a fork, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and seeds as desired, and bake for 15–20 minutes.
