Instructions
Step 1
Combine all-purpose flour, rye flour, salt, and sliced butter. knead with your hands until you have a crumbly dough.

While the dough chills, prepare the filling by slicing the zucchini and sautéing it in an olive oil-greased pan with salt and pepper. cook for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Preheat the oven to 350f.
Step 6
Remove the dough from the fridge, dust the working surface with flour, and roll it into a 1/8-inch thick disc. transfer it onto parchment paper and place an upturned bowl in the center.
Step 7
Spread the sautéed zucchini, mozzarella, and cherry tomatoes on the exposed part of the dough. fold the external edges.
Step 8
Remove the bowl and use a sharp knife to cut the center of the pastry dough into 16 equal strips.
Step 9
Carefully lift and turn each wedge to pinch it to the external edge, creating petals.
