With more time on my hands to fanny about with stuff like cooking I've made a few pizzas but the ones I make aren't really pizzas because we don't eat cheese so we make a thing like pizza with some home made marinara and some various toppings.
Then earlier last week I made a Lamachun (or a version of a lamachun using diced walnuts and Puy lentils rather than lamb) but really its the sauce (tinned tomatoes, sumac, paprika, cumin) that was the fun.
Before that I was making nice Nice socca.
So thats three versions of flatbreads from three Mediterranean countries that made me wonder if you could eat your way around the med by cooking versions of circular flat breads with a nice topping on it. I might give Lebanese Mountain Bread a shot next.
Anyone else encountered tasty frisbees elsewhere around the med I can try? Ones without cheese are a bonus but I won't rule dairy ones out.
I did look up a 'Greek Pizza' but thats an American pizza invented by a guy from Albania and its the mother of all bad pizzas.
Pizzas don’t need cheese: FACT.
Oh, get the harissa out OP.
get the harissa out
never need an excuse
I once came up with the notion of an Indian chip butty - a garlic naan topped with chips and curry.

Hogwash.
A pizza without cheese is like interrupted sex.

Take aways here would call that a Hoagie Wrap.

When I was staying in a Hilton I asked if I could have one of their 'freshly made stone baked pizzas' but without the cheese and the staff had to admit that the cheese was already on them in the packet 🙂
we don’t eat cheese
I lost interest right there.

Put some cheese on top and grill it and I'd buy it.
Oaxaca style. Homemade guacamole on the flatbread, add wilted spinach and whatever else you fancy. Not from the med obviously but worth trying

Does not compute.
I’ve been making fresh naans for the family, but tonight is pizza night. I’m just doing the dough now. There will be cheese.
Garlic butter works well (or garlic olive oil)..
Anyone suggested bacon on pizza yet..

I made a naan in a frying pan - really surprised at how well that worked out.
made a few sourdough pizzas last year with my starter, thats long gone now tho so looking for a simple method for this weekend.
anyone got any good pizza recipes using more conventional methods for the dough? if not sourdough, would you always use yeast or can they be made with baking powder or bicarbonate of soda instead?
thanks

a chip naan from Abdul's on Oxford Road in Manchester was a regular dinner for me before i started a shift at the pub next door back in 2001!
On a riding holiday in Czech we had some sort of atrocity that was like a pizza but it was essentially a fried cheese base with cheap ketchup on top.
That was pretty much it. Wouldn't recommend.
Deviating from my own stipulation of the Med - I wonder how well a home-brew Katlama would work
What about Langos? Not Mediterranean either
Its normally just topped with garlic and salt and maybe sour cream. Kids sometimes have sweet versions with nutella or jam
Intriguing
Do a search for Turkish Pide, toppings as desired
Pancakes? (-:
319 days to Pancake day and they're already selling flour and eggs
(except this is the one time you can tell that joke when they're actually not)
I’ve had most luck with this recipe - www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/sep/08/how-to-cook-perfect-pizza
Gives an easy to work dough and had pretty decent results using a pizza stone. I think you do need standard yeast rather than self raising / bicarbonate
tried this tonight in my aldi pizza oven (just stick it on top of BBQ).
i only had enough dough for 50/50 white/wholewheat, the topping was lovely, but.....topping was lovely, the dough was burnt at the bottom tho. proper charcoal!
now, could this be a lack of cleaning from last year? i never clean pizza stone or BBQ, just let everything burn off, never died yet. and tbh, there was residue from last year.
wife thinks it was too hot (the dial was in 'too hot', but experiments last year found this ideal) but my rationale is that an aldi pizza oven on top of a BBQ will never be as hot as a proper pizza oven, plus it was perfect last year.....what do you think? last years residue needed cleaning off? could a pizza stone get too hot and burn a base?
thanks

A few places started that around my home town decades ago they’re marvellous.

Italy is a Catholic country and they serve pizza without cheese.
Pizza without cheese 😱😱
A favourite in my house is pizza with a chilli base instead of Mariana sauce. Made one tonight.
