Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough back in the bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add the red bell pepper, grated zucchini, and diced tomato to the skillet. Cook for another 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
-
Stir in the tomato paste, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll out each portion into a circle on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.
-
Spoon the vegetable mixture onto each dough circle, leaving a border around the edges. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
-
Transfer the vegetarian sfiha to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
-
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy the flavors of this Lebanese-inspired vegetarian delight!
