Ingredients

• Heading | Base
• 1½ cups self-raising flour plus extra for kneading
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup / 250ml Greek yoghurt
• Heading | Topping
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 red onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 teaspoon minced/ crushed chilli, optional
• 400g 50/50 Meadow Mushrooms and beef or lamb mince blend
• 1 capsicum, thinly sliced
• 150g crumbled feta or grated mozzarella
• ¼ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped + extra for sprinkling
• sumac or smoked paprika to sprinkle

Method

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 220oC fan bake.

2. 2

   To make the base, put the flour, salt and yoghurt into a bowl and mix together with a fork. Turn out onto a clean bench top and knead, adding extra flour as needed, for about 2 minutes to form a smooth, not sticky, dough.

3. 3

   For the topping, heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté the onion, garlic and chilli with a sprinkle of salt, if using, for a few minutes. Finely chop the mushrooms (or blitz in the blender) to replicate mince, then add to the pan with the mince and cook, stirring for 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Divide the dough into 2 or 4 pieces and roll/stretch out with more flour, to canoe-shaped flat breads and place on well-greased or lined baking trays. Roll over the edges a little to form a lip. Spread the filling over each dough base and top with the capsicum, then the feta or mozzarella.

5. 5

   Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and bubbling. Remove from oven and sprinkle with a little parsley and sumac or paprika.

Top Tips

Drizzle over olive oil before serving if the topping has dried out during baking and for added flavour

To reduce the prep time, you can use a store-bought pizza or pide base
