Gourmet tip
For a festive touch, place a few whole chestnuts on top of the crust before baking.
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, coarse salt, crushed pepper, spices, and herbs.
- Gradually add a little water to obtain a smooth, malleable dough.
- Spread about one-third of the dough in the bottom of a roasting pan to form a base for the capon.
- Place the seasoned capon on this base, then cover with the rest of the dough, pressing down firmly on the edges to seal the capon completely.
- Bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours at 180°C.
