Tomato & Onion Manakish

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
The taste of South Lebanese villages. This isn't pizza sauce: here, the chunkiness and acidity of fresh tomatoes dominate, complemented by sweet onions and olive oil. Baking thickens the tomato juices, soaking flavor into the dough without making it soggy. A simple, rustic, vegan delight.

Instructions

1 ✓

Make dough with flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and half the oil. Rise for 1 hour.

Tip: Bread flour creates a strong structure to hold the moist topping.
2 ✓

Seed and dice tomatoes. Finely chop onion. Salt them and place in a strainer for 10 minutes.

Tip: Salting removes excess liquid via osmosis, concentrating flavor and preventing sogginess.
3 ✓

Squeeze veggies, mix with remaining oil, crushed garlic, and spices.

Tip: Oil transfers the flavors to the dough.
4 ✓

Form rounds, dimple, and spread topping.

Tip: Leave a 1/2 inch border.
5 ✓

Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 8-12 minutes.

Tip: Done when the bottom is spotty brown.

Recipe FAQ

Why is the dough soggy?
You didn't drain the tomatoes. Salt draws water out (osmosis), which must be discarded before baking!
