Ingredients
  

  • For the dough
  • 350 g spelt flour
  • 100 g rye flour
  • 2 teaspoons rapid-rise yeast
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 50 ml extra-virgin olive oil
  • 275 ml lukewarm water
  • for the topping
  • 130 g Kishik
  • 200 ml plain yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon hot red pepper paste
  • 150 ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 g tomatoes rinsed and finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion 125 g, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sesame

Instructions
 

  • For the dough: Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the oil and water and mix well until the dough gathers into a ball, adding a little extra flour if it is sticky or a drizzle of water if dry. Knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable. Lightly oil the bowl and turn the round dough over to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for at least 2 hours.
  • For the topping: Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl.
  • To make man’oushe: Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to 2 mm thickness. Cut out the dough into rounds using a 10-cm round-shaped pastry cutter. Place the rounds on the lined baking sheet; press your fingers lightly onto the dough and spread with 1-heaped tablespoonful filling.
  • Preheat oven (220°C, 425°F). Bake on middle rack for about 12 minutes. Serve hot or lukewarm.
