Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Divide the bread dough into eight balls and roll each into a circle large enough to enclose the chorizo.

  2. Step 2

    Place the chorizo in the center and close the dough around it, pinching well to seal. Wrap in the leaf, covering the dough completely, and tie lengthwise and crosswise with string, like a package (this may be prepared ahead and refrigerated).

  3. Step 3

    Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. To serve, remove the string.

This was really good! I used my own pizza dough, chorizo and collard greens. Very unusual and yet simple. I served it with tomato sauce for dipping.
