Just in case someone needs the recipe...

Finnish Fish Pie (Kalakukko)
. Recipe Ingredients Dough:

4 dl water
7 dl rye flour
3 dl white flour
50 gr butter
2 tsp salt

Filling:

800 gr small fish (vendace, perch)
200 gr side pork
1 tbs salt

. Recipe Cooking and Preparation Method Clean the fish and strain well. Prepare the dough. Mix the flours and salt and then stir them into the water. Add the soft butter and knead into a firm dough. With a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a circular, approximately 1 cm thick crust (The center of the crust should be thicker than the edges). Sprinkle the center of the crust with rye flour.

Place the fish, salt and side pork, in layers, onto the center of the crust. Raise the edges and close the seam tightly with water and flour. Form into a round shape. Place the pie upside down (the seam downwards) onto a baking tray covered with greaseproof paper.

Bake at 200 degrees Celsius until the crust has a brownish color. Wrap the pie in foil, lower the heat to 75 - 100 degrees Celsius, and bake for approximately 5 – 6 more hours. After removing the pie from the oven, cover it with a kitchen towel to soften the crust.
