## Ingredients

- 750 g wheat flour
- 250 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 250 ml beer
- salt
- paprika
- fried tomato sauce, homemade-style
- 3 can tuna in olive oil
- 3 whole hard-boiled egg
- sugar
- 1 whole egg

## Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, extra virgin olive oil, beer, salt, and paprika. Mix well using a spoon and then use your hands to knead until combined.
2. Divide the dough into two equal halves.
3. Take one half of the dough, place it on a baking tray, and spread it out evenly with your hands, starting from the center outward.
4. Spread the fried tomato sauce over the dough, add a pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar, then top with the tuna and chopped hard-boiled eggs.
5. Place the second half of the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out with your hands. Transfer it over the filled empanada base, seal the edges by pinching and folding, and crimp with your fingers.
6. Prick the surface of the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up.
7. Beat an egg and brush the surface of the empanada.
8. Bake at 180°C for 40 minutes until golden.
