Ingredients

For the flatbread:
  • 500g strong plain flour
  • 1x 7g sachet yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 250ml warm water
For the sauce:
  • 15ml olive oil
  • 1 red onion,
  • peeled and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 25g sultanas
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp baharat
  • 3 cardamom pods, seeds removed
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • 2 fresh tomatoes chopped
For the topping:
  • 12 mackerel fillets, pin boned
  • 25ml olive oil
To serve:
  • 1 small bunch mint chopped
  • 1 small bunch coriander chopped
  • 8 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 25ml olive oil

Method

Place all the base ingredients into a kitchen aid with a dough hook. Mix for 10 minutes on a medium speed then place into a bowl and cover in cling film. Leave until doubled in size-either 2 hours in a warm place or overnight in the fridge.

Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat. When the oil is hot add the onion and garlic and cook for a couple of minutes. Place the remaining sauce ingredients into the pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes then cool.

Divide the dough mixture into three. Roll out the bases on a floured surface and spread over the sauce.

Top with four fish fillets per base, drizzle in oil cook in a pizza oven for 2 minutes.

Alternatively cook in a conventional oven at 200°C for 8–12 minutes.

Top with Greek yogurt, fresh herbs and olive oil.
