Description
The highlight of this pizza is its different format from the traditional disc: in this version it looks like a “boat”, leaving plenty of space for you to add the topping of your choice.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1
Separate the ingredients of the pizza dough. Heat the water slightly, as it must be lukewarm to activate the yeast in the dough.
-
Step 2
Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the oil and salt and mix.
-
Step 3
Gradually add the sifted flour and mix with a spatula. Knead the dough inside the bowl itself, adding the flour little by little (you may not need to use all the flour).
-
Step 4
After kneading, the dough should be smooth and soft, as in the photo. Put it back in the bowl, cover with a cloth and let it rest for 1 hour.
-
Step 5
Meanwhile, mix the two grated cheeses , which will be the filling for our nacelle-shaped pizza, and preheat the oven to 200ºC.
-
Step 6
After the rest time, open the dough in the shape of a rectangle, as in the image below, and place the filling in a “row”, leaving space at the edges. Close the edges by twisting the dough all over the sides and ends.
-
Step 7
Place the pizza on a floured baking sheet and finish by brushing the melted butter all over the dough. If you like, sprinkle with a little zaatar seasoning (a blend of traditional Lebanese spices).
-
Step 8
Bake your Arabic pizza in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes or until golden.
-
Step 9
Then serve this delicious homemade Arabic pizza that you will simply love! Prepare today and enjoy!
Note
Tip: if you want, you can use other cheeses of your choice, such as cheddar, gouda, brie, etc.
