• Warm water - 120 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Fine bulgur - 100 grams
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Cucumber - 100 grams, diced
• Tomato - 100 grams, diced

• Mint - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm water with yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, soak the fine bulgur in 200 ml of hot water for 15 minutes until softened. Drain any excess water if needed.
5. In a large bowl, combine the softened bulgur, tomato paste, lemon juice, diced cucumber, diced tomato, chopped red onion, parsley, mint, salt, pepper, and pomegranate molasses. Mix well until fully combined.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape on a floured surface.
8. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the bulgur mixture onto the center of each dough, spreading it evenly, leaving a small border.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm.
