Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 300 ml Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 ml Tomato sauce
- 300 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 200 grams Cooked kebab meat (slices or shavings)
- 1 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 small Fresh tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 50 grams Pickled peppers (optional, sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 100 grams Sour cream
- 100 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion into a thin, round crust (about 10-12 inches in diameter).
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over each crust, leaving about 1 cm border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tomato sauce.
Top each pizza with the kebab meat, red onion slices, fresh tomato slices, and pickled peppers if using.
Carefully transfer one pizza onto the preheated stone or tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
While the pizza is baking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce by mixing the minced garlic, sour cream, mayonnaise, dried oregano, and black pepper in a small bowl. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for 2-3 minutes, and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.
Repeat the baking process with the second pizza, adding garlic sauce at the end.
Slice and serve immediately, enjoying the unique flavors of Swedish pizza!
