Stir in remaining ingredients and season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.2 On a lightly floured work surface roll out a quarter of the dough to a 25cm round and spread with a quarter of the mascarpone.

Repeat with remaining ingredients. Season to taste and serve immediately.
