basic pizza dough
To make a good pizza dough at home use the
following recipe:
Ingredients for 500g of dough:
•
300g flour
•
25g yeast
•
a pinch of salt
•
1 glass of lukewarm water
Pour the flour onto the table in a heap, make a
hollow in the centre to form the "well" and add a
level teaspoonful of cooking salt. Crumble the yeast
into a small glass of lukewarm water, pour it into the
well a little at a time and start mixing. At the start the
dough will be soft and sticky, but it will become stiffer
and more elastic as you knead it. Thump the dough
hard against the table and press your wrists against
it to make it smooth and even. When you have
repeated this procedure many times, you will find
that the dough comes away from your hands end
the table easily; now form a ball. Cut a cross on the
top and leave to rise in a warm corner of the table,
covered with a clean tea-towel. Leave for about 2
hours, during which time the dough will double in
size (this may take much less in hot, humid
conditions). At this point, after rising, the dough
may be kneaded again for a few minutes and used
immediately, or frozen. If you are going to use it at
once, before kneading you can add the oil of your
choice. This will almost always be extra virgin olive
oil, but in some special recipes it may be lard or
butter. If you decide to freeze the dough, wrap it up
in a freezer film and place it in the freezer. When you
decide to use it, thaw it at room temperature and
knead it for 5 minutes with a little oil.

lahmacun – turkish pizza
Ingredients to serve 4:
Dough:
•
230g flour
•
a pinch of salt
•
¼ cube fresh yeast
•
150ml lukewarm water
Filling:
•
1 union
•
1 small pepperoni, red
•
3 cloves of garlic
•
1 tin tomatoes (pizza tomatoes)
•
2 tablespoons tomato purée
•
50g 8-spices mix (deepfreeze)
•
120g raw minced
•
garlic powder, (without flavour enhancer)
•
paprika
•
cumin
•
1 cucumber
•
250g yoghurt, 1,5%
•
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
•
½ head of iceberg lettuce
•
4 small tomatoes
•
½ head of white cabbage
•
2 teaspoons oil (thistle oil)
•
100ml vegetables liquid
•
3 tablespoons vinegar (apple vinegar)
•
salt
•
pepper
The best is to make the coleslaw first, so it can soak
in for a while. Cut the white cabbage in small pieces.
Mix the oil with the apple vinegar and the 100ml
vegetables liquid (with boiling water and 2-3
teaspoons vegetables powder fresh made). Add the
white cabbage pieces and flavour it with salt and
pepper. Mix for the dough 220g flour (Attention: keep
10g to roll out pastry) and a pinch of salt. Make a
hole in the middle of the flour with a spoon, put in
the fine crumbled yeast and mix this with a little bit of
lukewarm water. Leave this dough on a warm place
to rise for ca. 15 min. Add the rest of the water and
knead everything until you have an elastic dough.
Knead the dough thoroughly with your hands, so it
will be a little airy. With that you will help the yeast to
do your "work" now. Put the dough in a closed bowl
on a warm place to rise for ca. 30 min. The dough
should be visibly enlarged after this time. For the
filling, peel and cut the union and press the garlic
