Instructions
Mix the flour with the yeast and salt and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and add some cold water until you have a firm dough. Knead the dough thoroughly until it becomes elastic. Cover the dough with plastic foil and let it rest on a warm place for 45 minutes.
Clean the fennel bulb, quarter it and thinly slice each part. Chop the green leaves. Rind the orange and squeeze the fruit. Make a dressing of 2 tablespoons of orange juice with the balsamic vinegar and 4 tablespoons of olive oil and add 1 tablespoon of orange rind, a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Mix the fennel and fennel green with the dressing and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Bake the pie in 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Fry the parma ham in olive oil.
Mix the rucola into the fennel salad and place the salad on top of the baked pie. Top this with the Parmesan cheese, pine nuts and parma ham.
Heat the oven to 435 degrees F or 225 degrees C. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until a thin round pie bottom and place the pie on a creased backing sheet. Spoon the mascarpone on the pie bottom. Sprinkle the mascarpone with pepper, majoram and orange rind. Cut the Taleggio cheese in slices and add these to the pie, again sprinkle with pepper.
