add the milk to bind to a soft dough. Knead for two to three minutes, then
return to the bowl. Cover and leave to rise for one hour.
Heat the oil and saute the tomatoes, red peppers and garlic for 10 minutes,
while the dough is rising Stir in tuna. Add the seasoning Keep the tuna
filling aside to cool.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for three minutes, return to
an oiled bowl and leave to rise for 30 minutes more. Preheat the oven to
180 C / 350 F / Gas Mark 4. Roll out half the dough on a lightly floured
surface and use to line a rectangular baking dish. Spoon in the prepared
filling Brush edges of the dough with water. Roll out the remaining dough
and lay on top of the filling Secure edges and trim. Make steam vents and
dust with flour. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes until pale golden.

in Spain and eaten as a snack. For the home made version, add a larger
proportion of tuna filling to make a substantial meal
