Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon dried yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons warm water
5 ounces Greek-style yogurt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
10 ounces bread flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
olive oil

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and set aside in a warm place for about 10 minutes until frothy. In another small bowl, whisk the yogurt and extra-virgin olive oil.

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yeast and yogurt mixtures. Use your fingers to work in the flour and form a smooth ball. Transfer to an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook and knead on a low speed for 10-15 minutes until very smooth and shiny. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, the cover with a damp tea towel and leave to rest at room temperature for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 425F. Knock back the dough, then put it onto a lightly floured work surface. Divide the dough into 10 portions. Roll each portion into a round, 6-inches in diameter. Brush lightly with oil and spread with your choice of topping. Bake for 6 - 8 minutes (a convection oven may take as little as 4-5 minutes) and serve piping hot.

Makes 10 small crusts.

AuthorNote: Turkish pizzas are one of the country's most popular snacks. They are baked in wood-fired ovens, resulting in a wafer-thin, crisp base. Toppings may vary from region to region, but most widely available is known as 'lahmacun', which is made with a paste of mildly spicy [Favorite}.
