EASY SMALL GREEK PIZZA (PEINIRLI OR PENIRLI)

Steps:

• To prepare this delicious easy small Greek pizza (Peinirli) start by making the homemade dough. Warm up milk to 30C or 86F. In a mixer bowl add lukewarm milk, yeast, half of the flour, salt and sugar. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, allowing the yeast to become activated. Beat with a dough hook for 5 minutes or knead by hand . Carry on by adding the rest of the flour, sunflower oil and butter. Beat the dough for a further 10 minutes until a soft dough is formed.
• Oil the surface of the dough ( 1 tablespoon oil) and let it proof for 30 minutes (1st proof). Once the dough has doubled in size, knead it by hand for a few minutes and divide into equally shaped portions. Let the dough portions proof for a second time, around 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 190C or 374F.
• Once the peynirli dough has proved for the second time, flour your work surface and roll them into an oval shape. Add cheese evenly on the dough and start rolling the sides. Pinch the edges with a little bit of water to form the famous 'boat' or 'Gondola' shapes.
• It is time to add your toppings. Add sliced mushrooms, little bit of butter(1 small cube) and bake for 30 minutes at 190C or 374F.
• When adding thin slices of ham or proscuitto in this easy small Greek pizza (peinirli) recipe, make sure to add them at around 20 minutes. Thinly sliced ham will burn in the oven for 30 minutes.
• For a softer crust, spread a little butter once penirli is out of the oven.
