Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Boiling water - 100 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Scallions (green onions) - 4 stalks, finely chopped
• Sesame oil - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Tomato sauce - 100 grams
• Bell pepper - 1/2, sliced
• Mushrooms - 100 grams, sliced
• Fresh basil - a handful, chopped
• Red pepper flakes - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring with a fork until the mixture comes together.
2. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 20 cm in diameter).
4. Brush each circle with sesame oil, then sprinkle with chopped scallions evenly. Roll the dough tightly into a log, then coil it into a spiral and flatten gently with your hand.
5. Roll the coiled dough out again into a thin pancake, about 20 cm in diameter.
6. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook each scallion pancake for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
7. In the same skillet, add the tomato sauce and spread it evenly over the pancakes. Top with sliced bell pepper, mushrooms, and fresh basil.
8. Return the skillet to the heat and cover it with a lid. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together.
9. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired, slice, and serve hot.
