Preparing In The Kitchen
Crust
In a big bowl of a food processor, combine the flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture becomes big crumbles.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl. In a smaller bowl, whisk together yoghurt, water, and lemon juice. Add the flour mixture and use hands or a wooden spoon to form dough into a ball.
Filling
Preheat the oven to 180 ºC and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a 30 cm circle. Transfer it to a parchment lined baking sheet.
In a medium sized bowl, whisk ricotta, whole egg, mozzarella, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper together.
Spread the ricotta mixture in the centre of the dough, leaving a 5 cm border on the outside. Arrange asparagus on top, and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Fold the border over the ricotta filling, crimping the edges.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg yolk and water, and brush it on the crust.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and parmesan over.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
