How to make it
- Making the dough:
- Mix the yeast + sugar and water, let the yeast foam up. Mix the rest of the ingredients but not all the flour at once. Add flour until you get a very soft consistency, not a sticky dough. Put into a big bowl, cover and let it rise in a draft free warm place.
- Make the dough first and while it rises, make the filling/topping.
- The Topping:
- Mix all the ingredients. ;)
- Once the dough has doubled in size, divide into 16 or more equal sized balls. Thin by hand and roll to make a not so thin dough. Here, the shape does not matter but usually they are round. Divide the topping equally. Bake in the preheated 375F oven, or backyard grill. If making on pizza stone, do not forget to sprinkle some corn meal to avoid sticking to the stone. Be sure to put the baked ones in a large dish and cover with a clean towel while waiting for the rest to cook. Make a simple salad to go with it: finely chopped tomatoe + cucumber + parsley + lemon juice + olive oil + salt would do it. It is also customary to have lemon wedges on the side as well
