What you need:

Pizza:

Fresh pizza dough (I use Trader Joe's fresh pizza dough balls. They are fresh and super cheap

Corn meal/Flour - A couple of tablespoons to flour your surface

Garlic powder - 1 tbsp(optional, I like to make my own garlic crust)

Sliced toppings, anything you want. Don't go too crazy though or you'll end up with a soggy pizza.

Pizza Sauce - 1 cup, I use hari chutney, pesto also works great.

Shredded Chicken - 1/2 cup

Shredded Cheese - 2 cups, Parmesan, Romano, Mozzarella cheese blend

Pizza stone/large cookie sheet

Mango Salsa:

Mango - 1, peeled and sliced (make sure it's ripe and sweet)

Jalapeno - 1, remove seeds and finely chop.

Red onion - 1/3 cup, finely diced

Lime juice - 1 tbsp

Fresh Ginger - 1 tsp, finely grated

Salt and pepper, to season

What you do:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Flour a pizza stone or cookie sheet, and let the dough rest and rise for 20 mins.

In the meantime, chop up your vegetables and shred your chicken.

After 20 mins, put corn meal or flour on the pizza stone to avoid the dough from sticking.

Roll out the pizza into a 12'' circle, or rectangle if baking in a cookie sheet.

Put the pizza base in the 400°F oven for 4-5 mins. 

Spread the bottom of the pizza base with sauce or pesto or chutney.

Add a fistful of cheese, then add the toppings and chicken.

Add the remaining cheese on top.

Using a pastry brush, brush the crust with butter and sprinkle some garlic powder.

Bake in a 400°F for 15-20 mins or until the crust is golden brown.

In this time, you can mix together all the ingredients for the mango salsa in a bowl and put it in the fridge.

Done! Cut your pizza and I like to put the salsa on the side so people can add as much as they want.

Malzemeler (2-3 kişilik)

3 lavaş (bunlar marketlerde paket halinde, genelde altılı satılıyor ve kepeklileri de var)

125 gr kaşar, dil peyniri ya da mozzarella

100 gr ezine peyniri (nane ya da maydonozla karıştırılabilir)

Bir küçük kutu domates püresi

10-15 yaprak doğranmış taze fesleğen

Üç diş sarımsak

Dilimlenmiş siyah zeytin (kavanoz içinde satılıyor)

15-20 dilim kurutulmuş domates

Tuz, karabiber

(Sos için zeytinyağı)

Ingredients (for two/three persons)

3 tortillas (generally sold in packages of 6 and there are whole-wheat tortillas too)

125 grams yellow cheese, mozzarella or any meltable cheese to your liking

100 grams of feta cheese (mixed with parsley or mint leaves)

A small carton of tomato puree

10-15 shredded fresh basil leaves

3 garlic cloves

Sliced black olives (sold in jars)

15-20 slices of dried tomatos

Salt and black pepper 

(olive oil for cooking)

Fırını 200 dereceye ayarlayıp ısıtmaya başlayın. Sarımsakları ezin, zeytinyağını hafif kızdırıp sarımsakları 1-2 dakika çevirin. (Dikkat edin, sarımsak çok çabuk yanar.) Domates püresini ekleyin, tuz ve karabiberi de koyup kaynayana dek ara ara karıştırın. Kaynamaya başladığında ateşi iyice kısıp doğranmış fesleğenleri ekleyin. Bu halde 5 dakika kadar pişsin. (Bu "basilico" sos tek başına bile şahanedir, makarnanın üzerine boca edip yiyebilirsiniz.)

Heat up the oven to 200 degrees celsius. Crush the garlic, put olive oil (approx. 1 tbsp) in a sauce pan and stir the garlic with oil for 1-2 minutes. (Be careful, garlic burns really fast.) Add tomato puree, add salt and pepper and stir it occasionally, until it starts to boil. Turn down the heat and add shredded basil. Cook it like that for 5 minutes. (This "basilico" sauce is wonderful all by itself. You can just pour it over pasta and gobble it up.)

Sos hazır olduktan sonra lavaşları ayrı ayrı, yağlı kağıt serdiğiniz tepsilere koyun. Sosu üç lavaşın yüzeyine eşit olarak sürün. Rendelediğiniz peynirleri lavaşın üzerine yayın. En üste zeytinlerle kurutulmuş domatesleri ekleyin. Lavaşları fırına koyup peynir eriyinceye dek pişirin (yaklaşık 5-7 dakika). Üzerini fesleğen yapraklarıyla süsleyerek sıcak servis edin, kalanı mikrodalgada ısıtıp afiyetle yemek üzere buzdolabına kaldırın. Tabii soğuduktan sonra!

When the sauce is ready, put tortillas in separate oven trays lined with baking sheet. Daub the sauce on the surface of tortillas equally. Spread shredded cheese on tortillas. Add olives and dried tomatoes on top. Put tortillas in the oven and bake it until the cheese melts (around 5-7 minutes). Serve hot, with basil leaves on top and put the rest in the fridge (after it cools down!) to later heat up in microwave and enjoy it.
