Roll out two flatbreads to a thickness of approximately 0.7 cm.

Step 21
Cover the pie with the second flatbread, pinch the edges. Decorate the pie. Brush the surface of the cabbage pie with beaten egg (or a mixture of yolk and water), and make a small hole on top for steam to escape.

Step 22
Place the cabbage pie in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 35–45 minutes (until golden brown). To prevent the baked pie from losing moisture while cooling, wrap it while hot in a large kitchen towel. For an even softer crust, you can additionally place the hot pie into a plastic bag.
