Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Sugar - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Scallions - 100 grams, finely chopped
• Vegetable oil - 30 ml
• Soy sauce - 15 ml
• Black pepper - 1 gram
• Sesame oil - 5 ml

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, prepare the scallion filling by mixing chopped scallions, vegetable oil, soy sauce, black pepper, and sesame oil in a bowl.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into a circle about 25 cm in diameter.
6. Spread the scallion mixture evenly over the surface of each rolled-out dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Fold the edges of the dough over the scallion filling to create a crust, then press down to seal it.
8. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook each pizza for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
9. Remove from the skillet, slice, and serve hot.
