• Tahini - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, peel and chop the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain.
5. In a bowl, mash the potatoes and mix in tahini, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, lemon juice, parsley, and black pepper to taste.
6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions and roll each out on a floured surface to about 0.5 cm thick.
8. Transfer the rolled dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over each dough base.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp.
11. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
