Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Self-rising flour
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (Plain)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the self-rising flour and yogurt. Mix with a spatula or in a mixer on low speed until the dough looks shaggy and crumbly.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 3–5 minutes until smooth, soft, and elastic.
- Place the dough in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 15–20 minutes. This helps relax the dough iso it is easier to shape.
- You have to place the dough in a bowl and wrap it with saran paper for later use or use it on the spot.
To Use The Dough
- Divide into 3–4 balls for mini pizzas or manakeesh. Roll each dough ball out to about ¼-inch thickness.
For Mini Pizza
- Bake at 450°F for 5–6 minutes, remove, add your sauce and toppings, then bake again for 6–8 minutes until golden and bubbly.
For Manakeesh (cheese or za’atar)
- Spread cheese or za’atar mix directly on the flattened raw dough. Bake at 450°F for 8–10 minutes until the bottom is lightly browned and edges puff.
Notes
#1: If the dough is too sticky, add some flour and knead it well. It needs to be a bit sticky though.
#2: Make sure to spread some flour on the counter where you spread the dough.
#3: If you do not have self-rising flour on hand, you should not worry. You can do it yourself! Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and one cup of baking soda to one cup of all-purpose flour. And here it is!
#4: Let the dough rest in the fridge for some time. It will be easier to manipulate it if you do so.
#5: Use cooking spray or olive oil if you are using this dough in a pan or a tray.
#6: If too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of yogurt.
