Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Chickpeas - 100 grams, cooked and mashed
• Olives - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
4. In a separate bowl, combine mashed chickpeas, smoked paprika, ground cumin, black pepper, red pepper flakes, nutritional yeast, chopped olives, diced tomato, and parsley. Mix well to form a filling.
5. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
6. Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape, about 1 cm thick.
7. Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the filling evenly onto each dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
8. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching to seal and create a boat shape.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
