    Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Mix 250 g of the mozzarella with the feta and the egg.

  4. 4

    Divide the dough in 2 and roll each into a 28 cm circle. Spread half the filling over one circle, cover with the second, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the rest to make 2 breads if you like, or use all the filling in one.

  5. 5

    Brush the top with butter and scatter over the remaining mozzarella.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese on top is bubbling and golden brown. Rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
