2 RECIPES INSIDE THIS RECIPE

Each with its own weights, steps and timings

The sauce, the cure, the dough, the dressing — a restaurant makes these itself, and so will you. Every one below is a full sub-recipe: its own ingredient list, its own method, its own yield and shelf life. Nothing says «use shop-bought».

Thin dough

Film

A lean flour-and-water dough with very little yeast, rested long and rolled almost translucent.

An enriched or well-risen dough puffs into a pizza. Lahmacun has to stay flat enough to roll up with parsley inside.

Kiyma topping

Film

Lamb, onion, pepper and tomato worked to a wet paste in a processor with pepper paste and isot.

Chunky topping falls off and burns; a paste bonds to the dough and cooks through in the same ninety seconds.

Most of what goes wrong is decided at the counter, before you cook anything. These are filmed by the chef: what to buy, how to tell it is good, and how to set your own kitchen up for it.

METHOD

STEP BY STEP — 22 STEPS

18 photographed · 6 filmed

Written the way a restaurant writes a technical card: one operation per step, each with its own time and temperature. 18 of the 22 carry a photo of what it should look like at that moment, and 6 carry a short clip for the parts a still cannot show.

Hardest step: spreading the topping thin enough — step 13 of 22.
