3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10-15 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Yaklaşık 15 dk.
Aşçının notu: The dough should be quite firm.

Yaklaşık 10 dk.
6
Roll out the rested dough into a large oval shape, about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: It should be large enough to enclose all the filling.

Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, sealing it completely to form a tight, loaf-like shape.

15
Cover the kalakukko tightly with aluminum foil and continue baking for another 3-4 hours.
