While I really enjoyed the filling of this the bad topping overshadowed that. I'm not sure what the purpose of kneading the dough for 30 minutes was for, but my dough was tough and didn't taste good. I'm not sure if it was my error since I made sure I followed the recipe exactly. I wish this was better since I was really looking forward to it.
