Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 200 g warm milk
- 10 g yeast
- 120 g all purpose flour
- sugar
Set a bowl over a scale and mix the warm milk, yeast, 120 grams of flour and a little sugar to a soupy batter. Rest 30 minutes.
- 245 g water
- 40 g olive oil
- 8 g salt
- 415 g all purpose flour
Add the water, olive oil, salt and 415 grams of flour and mix until a wet shaggy dough forms with no dry flour left. Fold the dough onto itself and rest 30 minutes.
Optionally perform one set of stretch and fold, rest 30 minutes and work the dough into a ball.
Grease a sheet pan or circular pizza pan, put the ball in the centre and work it out into a large circle, resting 15 minutes if it springs back.
- egg
- Nigella seeds
- sesame seeds
Rub egg wash over the dough, make light indentations with your fingers, sprinkle with Nigella and sesame seeds, and bake. Cool and slice into triangles.
- 225 g mayonnaise
- 115 g plain yogurt
- 5 g salt
- MSG
- agave syrup
- dried dill
- dried mint
- dried oregano
- garlic powder
- onion powder
Herb sauce: mix the mayonnaise, yogurt, salt, MSG, agave syrup, dried dill, dried mint, dried oregano, garlic powder and onion powder, and ideally rest a couple of hours in the fridge.
Herb sauce and spicy sauce at home
- 50 g ketchup
- 50 g sambal or chili garlic paste
- 50 g harissa
Spicy sauce: mix the ketchup, sambal or chili garlic paste and harissa.
- boneless skinless chicken thighs
- salt
- doner seasoning
Set boneless skinless chicken thighs on a baking sheet, sprinkle salt evenly over each, then add the doner seasoning.
Straight from the freezer, slice or chip off the finest, almost translucent pieces you can with a sharp knife. If the knife struggles, let the chicken thaw 10 to 15 minutes.
- rendered chicken fat
Get oil or rendered chicken fat ripping hot, lay the shaved chicken in one thin layer and blast it on one side only for brown crispy bits; residual heat cooks it through.
Searing the shavings on one side
- onion
- tomato
- cucumber
- salt
Toast and grill the pide triangle, spread two of the sauces inside, fill with the shaved meat and the chopped onion, tomato, cucumber and cabbage, and sprinkle a little salt over the vegetables.
