Oriental pizza; amazing stuffed pie.

Oriental pizza is a popular Egyptian pie that is served in folk restaurants. It is called pizza because it has toppings like pizza but its dough tastes like a pie not a bread as Italian pizza.

Oriental pizza's ingredients are very simple with no yeast, so it is easy and fast to prepare. Let's do it;

Ingredients for small-medium pizza:

For pizza dough:

  • 2 ½ cup flour.

  • ¼ cup oil.

  • ¾ - 1 cup warm water.

  • Pinch of salt.

For filling:

  • Cooked ground beef or sausage.

For toppings:

  • 1 tomato diced.

  • 1 bell pepper slices.

  • Shredded parmesan cheese.

  • 2 eggs.

  • 1 tablespoon ketchup.

  • Olive cut in slices.

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt.

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Preparation:

  • In a mixing bowl, mix flour, salt and oil then add warm water gradually and knead until soft dough achieved. Leave the dough to rest for 5 min.

  • In a deep plate mix all topping ingredients together and set it aside.

  • Pour some oil over the surface “this will help the dough to stretch with you” then divide the dough into four balls.

  • Take the first ball and pat down or roll it over oily surface until it is very thin sheet then transfer it to a non-stick sheet or oven pan. Do not worry if the dough breaks up with transferring, you can fix it at the pan. “Look at the photo below”.

  • Take the second ball and repeat the previous step.

  • Add the filling you have prepared, then add the third and fourth sheet.

  • Add the topping over the surface.

  • Preheat oven over the highest degree.

  • Put the sheet in the oven for 10 min then open the grill for another 5 min.

  • Cover the pizza for 1 min then serve it.
