Prepare the dough: place the flour with a pinch of salt on a worktop, mix and open a hole in the centre. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water, pour into the hole and start kneading. Add the previously softened margarine and the egg and continue kneading. Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl sprinkled with flour, make a cross cut and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until it doubles in volume.
Cook the codfish fillets in water with the bay leaves. Remove, drain, let cool, remove the skin and bones, flake and set aside.
Prepare the filling: peel the onions and garlic cloves, mince the garlic cloves and cut the onions into half-moons. Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the onions and garlic cloves and fry until golden brown. Then add the codfish, the olives, chopped parsley and nutmeg to taste, adjust the seasoning and mix everything well. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Knead the dough again and divide it into two parts. Roll out half the dough, place it on a tray greased with olive oil and place the filling on top. Roll out the remaining dough, cover the filling and press together. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rise for a further 30 minutes.
After the indicated time, brush the Codfish Cake with the beaten yolk and bake in a preheated oven at 180 ºC for about 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, take out of the tin, let it cool and serve.
