Featured Product

Thinly sliced halal dried beef

Ingredients

• 500 g all-purpose flour
• 325 ml lukewarm water
• 7 g dry yeast, 10 g salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 250 g strained tomato sauce without alcohol or unverified additives
• 250 g halal-certified mozzarella
• 120 g thinly sliced dried beef
• 1 roasted red pepper, cut into strips
• 60 g black olives and 50 g arugula
• Oregano and a little lemon juice

Preparation

1. Mix the water, yeast, and sugar. Add the flour, salt, and olive oil, then knead for 8–10 minutes. Cover and leave to rise for 60–90 minutes, until doubled in volume.
2. Preheat the oven with a pizza stone or an inverted baking tray inside for at least 30 minutes at the highest temperature setting.
3. Divide the dough into two portions and stretch each one out by hand. Spread with tomato sauce, then add mozzarella, roasted pepper, and olives.
4. Bake for 7–10 minutes, depending on the oven temperature, until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
5. Immediately arrange the dried beef on the hot pizza after baking. Dress the arugula with a few drops of lemon juice and a little olive oil, then add it just before serving.

Tip

Add the dried beef after baking. Prolonged exposure to high heat can make it tough and intensify its saltiness.
