…for mini pizzas with mushrooms & onions:

Crumble ¼ cube of yeast into a tall container, add ½ teaspoon of sugar and 150 milliliters of lukewarm water & stir everything with a whisk or a fork until the yeast and sugar have completely dissolved. Then put the yeast-water mixture together with 300 grams of flour, a good dash of olive oil & ½ teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl & knead with your hands or a food processor for about 4 – 5 minutes to a smooth dough.

Then cut the dough into 4 pieces of equal size, form each into a small ball & then roll into small flatbreads with a rolling pin on a lightly floured work surface. Place the flatbreads well apart on a baking sheet lined with baking paper & let them rest in a warm place covered with a kitchen towel for about 30 minutes.




Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat) in good time. Peel the garlic & press with a garlic press. Put 200 grams of crème fraiche, the pressed clove of garlic & a good pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl & stir, then set aside. Then peel off an onion and cut into strips. Clean and slice the mushrooms.

Heat a large pan with a dash of oil, add onions & mushrooms to the pan & sauté for 3 – 4 minutes, turning occasionally. As soon as the mushrooms start to lose water, add 1 teaspoon each of thyme and paprika (sweet), and season with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the spices and remove the mushroom and onion mixture from the heat.

After the resting time, spread the flatbreads with crème fraiche & top with the mushroom onion mixture, then bake in the preheated oven for 15 – 20 minutes until golden brown. Finally, garnish the mini pizzas with chopped parsley and serve. Happy baking!
