PRAWN ‘N’ BASIL FLAT BREAD


This is a bread flattened like a pizza,made with

semolina and flour .

Made a very sticky dough first,allowed a single

rise,and then added a little flour to only enable

handling of the dough.

Just spread the dough on the baking tray .

Though it looked uneven and rustic ,the bread

was soft .

Made the filling with sautéed garlic,prawns and

fresh basil leaves. ( I cut the prawns, but my

suggestion is to leave it whole ).

Made a white sauce mixed it with the prawns ,

and placed portions of soft cheese (quark) .

Sprinkled chilli flakes,mixed with apple cider

vinegar and olive oil before serving .

It was a lovely dinner ,easy off the table 😀.

So let’s get into the recipe
