Flour an Aussie view

Re: Flour an Aussie view

We make Za'ater bread often, so I have most the ingredients on hand. Curious how you think it would be without the lamb? I have vegetarians visiting and planning pizza tomorrow. There is a lot in terms of flavor going on here, I bet it would be equally good without the lamb, what do you think?

HI Xene

Try it, have made more since. this time added a bit more roasted Pumpkin than last time.

The flavours are enhanced with the Za'Atar it doesn't taste the same without it. I found each flavor was discernible when eating. Sometimes pizza's that have too much topping just don't work and I've been guilty of that over the years.

Wow, that does sound fabulous! I just made yogurt balls, I hadn't considered yogurt on my pizza yet. Yummy, with the mint - OH good stuff!

Hi All
I know I haven't yet finished my oven but I thought I would make the pizza I mentioned on this thread. Mainly to try making dough and because I needed to practice. I purchased Laucke Pizza and Focaccia mix.

It must say this pizza was the best Pizza I have possibly ever eaten. It was to die for, light crispy, tasty, each of the flavours very discernible. Actually cooked it on the BBQ using a Pizza stone. Cant wait now to finish WFO. onward and upward.

Here is the recipe for those interested.

Morrocan Spiced Lamb with Roasted Pumpkin and Pinenuts.

Tomato paste [I used Leggos pizza sauce]
Small amount of mozzarella [only enough to hold ingredients]
Lamb mince / 2tspn Morrocan spice / 2 x red chilli cooked until Lamb is brown
Roasted Pine nuts
Roasted Butternut pumpkin [cut into small triangles about 1 cm]
Boccicini halved / Persian Fetta [ I used on separate pizzas but preferred the Boccicini ]
Za’atar sprinkle on when all ingredient son Pizza base

Za’atar

Couldn’t find this so made up my own [herb gardens come in handy] I used 2 tbspns of Majoram, oregano, thyme [1tbspn normal and 1tbspn Lemon Thyme], Sesame Seeds toasted [hold back 1 tbspn]
And around 1/8 cup of Sumac. Dry fresh herbs in oven on low temp for 10 minutes, let cool, ground it all together into a powder and then add the reserved Sesame Seeds. Store in a air tight jar.


To serve
Drizzle Yoghurt with added lemon and garlic
Garnish with torn Mint leaves or Rocket or spinach
Try sprinkling some more Za'atar

Trust me it was to die for.

Re: Flour an Aussie view

I agree with Dave, Wallaby flour from Lauke Mills, is cheap and easy to get I have'nt tried to use some of their pre-mixes such as the Barossa Sourdough Mix which does make a very good loaf of bread

Re: Flour an Aussie view

The thread title is misleading.

It should read.
Flour Dave's view.

Its certainly not my view of flour, I buy what is readily available and dont get all anal and hung up about grind fineness, gluten, protein, etc.
