Babaganoush & Cumin Flatbreads

Ingredients
For the flatbread dough
  • 125ml Water
  • 200g Plain Flour, Plus extra for rolling and cooking
  • 1tbsp Toasted Cumin Seeds
  • 20g Butter, melted until it turns brown and smells nutty
For the Babaganoush
  • 1 Large Aubergine
  • 4 Cloves of garlic
  • 2tsp Ground Cumin, lightly toasted
  • 1tsp Tahini
  • 2tbsp Roughly Chopped Coriander
  • 2tbsp Yoghurt
  • Olive Oil
Method
As a rolling flame is beginning to die down in your oven, pierce the aubergine several times all over with a fork, and using tongs, carefully pop the aubergine close to the wood embers and turn regularly until the skin is well blackened.
After 10-15 minutes, remove from the oven, wrap in foil, and pop back in on the opposite side to the fire.
Wrap the unpeeled garlic cloves in foil, and pop them next to the aubergine. Leave both parcels to roast for 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine all the flatbread ingredients to form a dough, wrap in cling film, and pop in the fridge.
When the time is up on the aubergine, carefully unwrap it, and peel and discard the skin. Put the flesh into a food processor and squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skin into the food processor. Add in the yoghurt, cumin and tahini, blitz for 5-10 seconds, season, and pop into a ramekin.
Next roll out the flatbreads as thin as possible whilst getting your fire back up to a rolling flame. Flour each flatbread well, and cook directly on the oven floor- the flatbreads will begin to brown and bubble when they’re ready.
Finally, to serve, top the babaganoush with a good lug of olive oil and the chopped coriander.

Garlic Knots

4/4/2022

Picture

  • 1/2 tsp. rosemary, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. fresh oregano, chopped
  • 2-3 Tbsp. fresh garlic, minced
  • ¼ to ½ tsp. red chili flake
  • 1 C. Asiago cheese
  • 1 stick (8 Tbsp.) butter
  • ¼ C. olive oil
  • Pizza dough, 14 oz. piece (fresh or store-bought will both work)

For the Garlic Herb Butter:
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the olive oil and butter. Melt butter over low flame until fully incorporated into the olive oil.
  2. Increase flame to medium-low and add garlic. Sauté garlic gently 1-2 minutes, being careful not to brown.
  3. Add oregano, rosemary and chili flakes. Turn heat down to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for another 2 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and refrigerate 10-15 minutes to cool.
NOTE: This would be a great time to preheat your oven while you’re waiting for the butter to cool. Preheat your Pizzeria Pronto or PizzaQue Portable Outdoor Pizza Oven to high, as you would with a regular pizza. For a conventional oven, preheat to 425ºF.

Ingredients
  • 1 packet of fresh Jalapeños or sweet bite peppers (Aldi, Tesco and Asda all seem to stock various varieties)
  • 1 bottle hot sauce
  • Cheese, cream cheese, mozzarella or feta works really well…as does chilli cheese for that extra kick.
  • 1 packet of smoked streaky bacon
  • 1 packet cocktail sticks, soaked in water
  • 1 packet wooden skewers, soaked in water
  • 1 block of wood, soaked in water then drilled to hold the skewers.
Method
  1. Slice the top off the chilli’s, remove any seeds.
  2. Slice the cheese into small chunks and half fill the each chilli, add a splash of hot sauce to each, then top up with cheese, cramming as much in as you can.
  3. Wrap each chilli with a slice of bacon. Secure in place with a couple of cocktail sticks.
  4. Insert a skewer through each chilli and place into the block of wood.
  5. Roast in front of the fire until the bacon is crisp and the peppers are soft.

Baked cheese with crusty bread

Ingredients
  • 1 Whole Camembert
  • 1 Clove Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 Sprig Rosemary
  • Pinch of Chilli Flakes
  • Olive oil OR Honey
Method
To begin you will need to fire up your wood fired oven to its optimum temperature then allow to cool until it reaches around 180°c-200°c.
Whilst you are waiting for your oven to cool you can prepare your Camembert. Remove the cheese from its wooden box and score the top of the rind into square or diamond shapes. Now return to the base of its box, top with the remaining ingredients and drizzle with olive oil or honey.
Now pop your Camembert onto a high heatproof tray and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. Make sure you don’t overcook it- the cheese will begin to re-solidify.
Serve immediately with crusty bread.
