We are in Turkey at the 50th day of the quarantine and I've looked at all the
searches and everyone wants to make pizza at home and I realize that making
bread started to be really hard so today I would like to give you a recipe of a
10 minute pizza.
You might find pizzas from bread or lavash, many different
recipes on the Internet but this one I promise you that it's going to be more
delicious than 80% of the takeaways maybe more, I don't know where you order from.
Yeah! Pizza is very simple some kind of bread and then there's the sauce and
there are the cheeses and the toppings but always the sauce is the essential
thing and how you cook it in the oven. So with those tricks I promise it's going to be great.
So we start with the oven, I turn my oven to 200 degrees, not more, normally pizza
would be higher and I'm going to make two pizzas one for me one for Bahar. Yeah!!
And and half of the time the pizza is going to be cooked at the bottom of the
oven and half of the time on the top.
Yes, so I put my tray upside down like this, it's going to heat up. Now the sauce
is the most important part. Normally, I would do this in a small food processor
but mine broke down. So I'm going to use my pestle and mortar. I have two cloves
of garlic. I'm going to add 5 sprigs of thyme, if you do not have fresh thyme you
can use dried oregano, thyme, etc.
For the thick parts, put your hand and pull. These
parts are soft so it's okay there's also taste in these parts so I'm
adding those in. Now, I'm going to add 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 a teaspoon of
black pepper, coarsely chopped and also for the tomato sauce a pinch of sugar,
like you need a pinch of salt for the desserts, you need a pinch of sugar for
the pizza. It's incredibly nice sauce but if you're not like I don't know I know
more you sugar, you don't need to but for this to make it amazing,
you need a bit of sugar. Until now it's quite normal but I'm going to add two
pieces of roast beef. I'm going to tear these apart. This is kind of smoked so I
want the smoked taste to be in the sauce if I was to put it in the food processor
it would be easier but I did put all the sugar and salt so that it will help to
make this a puree easier. If you have any kind of cured meat, it could be ham,
depending on your country, some kind of smoked cured beef would be great. So I'm
going to do this.
It became like a paste like this, like minced meat to this. I'm going to add 10
tablespoons of tomato puree, it could be passata, any kind of tomato puree would do
or if you have diced tomatoes jarred, you can like mash them and it's going to be
also great.
If you mix it with tomato paste that might do and to this I'm also
going to add four tablespoons of olive oil. This will help the flavors to flow
in the sauce. Here comes the exciting part, we have a lavash like this, it could
be a tortilla bread depending on the country
the name changes. But it's sold packaged so it's safe to use, it has long due dates.
I'm adding your sauce, I'm being very generous so I wet the bread as well.
To this, I'm going to add around 100 grams of this is 'dil peyniri', it could be any
kind of cheese, string cheese, something that melts. It could be mozzarella really
easily. I'm going to put a little bit more sauce on top and a bit of kaju nuts.
This could be any nuts that you have hazelnuts, almonds, pecans.
This is not raw, we didn't have raw so it doesn't matter when it's roasted a bit it's more
crunchy. First at the bottom, if your lavash is thinner than mine, you should
add a bit of semolina or a bit of flour at the bottom so it doesn't stick to the
oven. Until 2 minutes, I'm going to make the second one. You may say
Refika this doesn't have pepperoni inside or mushrooms or corn or something.
This is the base you can put whatever you have at home. So here now, I have to
be quick. I take it from the bottom, it's already becoming crunchy so I put
it at the top. You might say 'Refika, we don't have those shovels', I don't know
what to call, you can do use your hands like this as well.
For that a cardboard and you can
wrap the cardboard with thin folyo or baking paper while they're cooking, this
is the paper that like I've made for another video,
cardboard and thin folyo you can use this in the kitchen as a shovel or
a reflector like this, to show you thinner.
Okay, it must be ready. Here comes the Sun.
The exciting part is not there yet. Until now, this looks less than promising what
we'll do is first we add some baby rockets, if we have, like this. When
there's always a fresh taste, it becomes much more sophisticated and then some
roast beef. I'm tearing the roast beef into two parts. I wasn't able to find the
word fancy like a posh place pizza. I think it's almost done, this is for me, so I
add a bit of balsamic vinegar, some fresh olive oil if needed and this is an
incredible olive oil so I'm just adding few.
If I know you, you wouldn't want balsamic but you'd want olive, always and a
bit of black pepper I guess. no?
Done! So from starting to make it to eating less than 10 minutes and you'll
see the taste.
For now, that's all. Take great care happy Mother's Day to everyone, feels as if
their mothers or caregivers have that mother love in their hearts, man or woman. Bye bye!
