This is the very first time I brought mum to Saizeriya (サイゼリヤ), a Japanese chain of family-style Italian yōshoku restaurants. The menu is very reasonably priced and comes with a free flow drink bar for just S$2.90 nett. Started off with the Grilled Chicken Wings (S$4.90) from the appetizer section.

For mum, she went for the Pineapple & Bacon Pizza (S$6.90) with a thin crispy crust while I opted for Laksa Seafood Spaghetti (S$7.90). Thoroughly enjoyed the lightly spicy pasta with an Asian twist plus the succulent prawns and mussels.

صفيحة فلسطينية / Safiha falastinia (Palestinian topped flatbread)

Etymology and origins

صَفِيحَة (“ṣafīḥa”), also transliterated “sfiha” and “sfeeha,” is a flatbread eaten in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, comprising a yeasted dough topped with a filling made from ground lamb or beef, spices, and chopped aromatics and vegetables. It may also be called “اللَحْم بالعَجِين” (“al-laḥm b al-‘ajīn,” “meat with dough”)—this phrase is the source of the Turkish “lahmacun” and the Armenian “Լահմաջո” (“lahmadjo”), which describe a closely related dish.

The word “صَفِيحَة” literally means “thin plate” or “sheet”; it comes from the root ص ف ح‎ (ṣ f ḥ), which produces words related to flatness. Compare for example “صَفَّحَ” (“ṣaffaḥa”) “to flatten,” “صَفْحَة” (“ṣafḥa”) “page,” and “صَافَحَ” (“ṣāfaḥa”) “to shake hands.” This term has been borrowed into Brazilian Portuguese as "esfirra" or "esfiha," when the flatbread was brought to Brazil by Levantine immigrants—mostly Christians—beginning in the 1890s. Today, esfiha has been naturalized as a "'typical' Brazilian bar food"; it is said that the typical resident of São Paulo is a "Japanese who speaks Portuguese with an Italian accent while eating an esfiha."

In English, lahmacun (also transliterated "lahmajoun") is sometimes called "Armenian pizza." Similarly, it may be called "صفيحة الأرمنية" ("safiha al-'armaniyya"), "Armenian safiha," in Palestine, indicating that it is regarded as a borrowing from the local Armenian immigrant community. In Armenia, lahmadjo is a very thin, soft flatbread typically topped with beef or lamb, tomatoes, tomato paste, bell peppers, onion, garlic, parsley, red chili paste, and black pepper. With Palestinian safiha, lamb is the typical choice of meat; the dough may be thicker, and enriched with the addition of milk, milk powder, or yoghurt; bell peppers are ommitted; and fried pine nuts may be added. Palestinian restaurateur Nassar Odeh remembers lahmadjo being served in Jerusalem's Old City decades ago; he says that "Armenian dishes" such as this have become "part of the Palestinian culture."

Though the Arabic-derived "lahmadjo" and related terms may be heard, [1] the most common Armenian-language name for this dish is "լոշմիս" ("loshmis")—presumably from "լոշ" "losh" "lavash, thin bread" + "միս" "mis" "meat." Some Western Armenian variations on the name reverse this order (meat-dough, rather than dough-meat): "մսաշոթ" ("msashot"), from "մսա" "msa" "meat" + "շոթ" "shot" "thin bread"; and "մսալոշ" ("msalosh"), from "մսա" "msa" "meat" + "լոշ" "losh" "thin bread."

The dish

A common part of everyday Palestinian cooking, صَفَائِح‎ ("ṣafā'iḥ"; plural of "ṣafīḥa") are often eaten as a snack or a portable lunch. They may also be served as a مَزَّة ("mazza"; "appetizer") for عِيد ("'īd"; "feast," "holiday"; often transliterated "Eid") or Christmas.

Safa'ih are shaped into pinwheels in the port city of يَافَا ("Yāfā"; often transliterated "Yaffa" or "Jaffa"), stuffed with ground meat or spinach. In the Bethlehem region the topping is often mixed with tahina, as well as vinegar or lemon juice, and perhaps pomegranate molasses. Other versions of the meat topping omit tahina and vinegar, and are more tomato-heavy instead.

This recipe is for Bethlehem mazza-style safa'ih, with thick crust that's crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Vinegar and pomegranate molasses provide a bright, slightly fruity lift to the topping, while tahina grounds it with a toasty, nutty aroma. Black pepper, allspice, and a green chili pepper add complexity and heat.

[1] There is a proliferation of possible spellings for "lahmadjo" in Armenian, which would indicate that it is a loanword (probably via Turkish, ultimately from Arabic). These spellings include "լամաջո" ("lamadjo") [common]; "լահմաջո" ("lahmadjo"); "լահմաջու" ("lahmadjou"); "լահմաջոն" ("lahmadjon"); "լահմաջուն" ("lahmadjoun") [literary; uncommon]; "լահմաջին" ("lahmadjīn"); and "լահմաջի" ("lahmadjī") [rare]. The letter "ջ" is pronounced as "dj" (IPA: [d͡ʒ]) in Eastern Armenian and a "tch" (IPA: [t͡ʃʰ]) in Western Armenian (timestamp: 40:33).

Ingredients:

Makes 24 small safa'ih. Serves 24 as an appetizer, or 6-7 as a main dish.

For the dough:

5 cups (600g) white flour

1 cup (230g) non-dairy yoghurt (لبن رائب) (I used soy)

1/2 cup (125 ml) olive oil

1 1/2 Tbsp (15g) dry yeast

1/2 Tbsp (4g) kosher salt

1 tsp (5g) sugar

A scant cup (220g) of water

A more "everyday" preparation of this dish might make larger, flatter safa'ih out of a dough without dairy. This holiday variant includes yoghurt and makes smaller, fluffier safa'ih; but the yoghurt may be omitted (or milk or milk powder may be added) without injury, and the flatbreads can be made any shape you like.

Leila al-Haddad writes that, in Gaza, white flour used to be eaten as a treat and for special occasions before it later came to replace whole wheat white flour in many kitchens.

For the topping:

500g ground beef substitute (as a replacement for minced lamb)

1 medium tomato, minced

1 medium onion, minced

1-2 green chili peppers, minced

2 tsp kosher salt (1 tsp table salt)

3/4 tsp black pepper

3/4 tsp allspice; or Palestinian 7-spice / mixed spices (بهار مشكل)

1/4 cup white tahina

2 Tbsp pomegranate molasses

2 Tbsp white vinegar, or lemon juice

For a tomato filling, omit the tahina and vinegar, and instead use 2 Tbsp tomato paste; or 8 diced or puréed tomatoes, cooked down.

Instructions:

For the dough:

1. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

2. Make a well in the center and add in the yoghurt, olive oil, and water. Mix them together and then combine them with the rest of the dough. Add water or flour as needed to obtain a soft, slightly tacky dough.

3. Knead the dough on a clean surface for 5-10 minutes, until it bounces back when pressed. Allow to rise, covered, in an oiled bowl for 1-2 hours, until doubled in size.

For the filling:

1. Mince vegetables, or run them through a food processor. Mix all filling ingredients together.

To assemble:

1. Divide dough in half, and then half again; roll out each quarter of the dough into a cylinder and cut it into six equal pieces.

2. Roll each piece of dough into a ball between your hands, and then flatten it into a disc about 1” (2 1/2 cm) high and 3” (8cm) wide. Place on a baking sheet prepared with parchment paper, leaving an inch of space between each circle.

3. Press the center of each dough circle down to create a crust around the edge. Add a few spoonfuls of filling to the center of each safiha and press flat.

4. Bake safa'ih in the middle of an oven at 450 °F (230 °F) for 25-30 minutes, until crust is golden brown.

Serve as an appetizer alongside vegetable salads, pickles, olives, &c.

Chicago's Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria 

Deep Dish Pizza Time!

The deep dish butter crust pizza served at Lou Malnati's, a classic Chicago-style pizzeria, is typically referred to as a "pie". A deep-dish pizza pan is seasoned, and a thin crust of pizza dough is placed inside and raised up on the sides. On a Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, the toppings are added in the reverse order of how they are on thin-crust pizzas, with sausage lining the bottom layer rather than pizza sauce. The dough is topped with thick slices of mozzarella cheese as the initial component. Then the cheese is covered with other items like mushrooms, pepperoni, and onions. A tomato sauce made with whole tomato chunks is spread on top of the pizza. A single Italian sausage patty called a "sausage patty" is used in "Lou-Mal" pies.

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (Low Carb Keto Pizza)

Prep:

15minutes mins

Cook:

25minutes mins

Total:

40minutes mins

Servings: 4 serving

Ingredients

Cauliflower Pizza Crust

▢1.5 pounds cauliflower, florets

▢1/2 cup shredded cheese, or 1/3 cup soft cheese

▢1 egg, beaten

▢1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

▢salt and pepper, to taste

Pesto Chicken Pizza

▢1/3 cup pesto sauce

▢1/2 cup shredded chicken

▢3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

▢2 cups (packed) baby spinach

▢2 garlic cloves, minced

Margherita Pizza

▢1/3 cup marinara sauce

▢4 oz mozzarella ball, sliced

▢fresh basil leaves

▢red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the cauliflower florets from the stem or use frozen and thawed cauliflower florets. Grate them using a food processor or box grater.

Add the cauliflower rice to a microwave safe bowl, cover, and microwave for 4-5 minutes to soften. Alternatively, you could saute the cauliflower rice in a pan on medium heat on the stove for 8-10 minutes. Then let it cool to the touch.

Transfer the cauliflower rice into a nut milk bag or thin kitchen towel. Drain the cauliflower by squeezing it until all the excess moisture is out. Squeeze as hard as you can!

Place the drained cauliflower rice in a large mixing bowl. Add the cheese, egg and seasonings. Use your hands to mix everything together to form the pizza dough.

On a parchment lined baking sheet, press the dough dough down into an even circle. The diameter should be around 9 inches. If you have a pizza stone, that's even better and will produce a crispier crust.

Bake for 25 minutes, or until slightly golden, then remove from oven. You could also bake for 20 minutes and flip the crust over, then bake an additional 5-10 minutes for an even crispier crust.

Add the toppings and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Rarepairs are fun, I’m bored and/or procrastinating other projects, and the world could always use a little more chaos let’s gooo

Pairings: Pre!Guy/Honey, Friendly Exes!Doc/Honey

Until we get to know them better, I’m giving Doc a sort of straightforward, deadpan demeanor. Also, the implication here is that Doc and Honey dated back when they were students at DAMN and broke up amicably.

Also available on AO3!

“Do you wanna get pizza?” The only answer Doc gets is a drawn out, exasperated groan from their friend’s direction, Honey burying their face in their pillow at the suggestion. “What crawled up your ass with the usual shit? Use your words.” Honey huffs, turning their head and looking up from where they’re laying on the ground.

“Guy comes home every single day reeking of pizza and cheese and oregano. I’m pretty sure he’d somehow be the one delivering it too, even if we don’t get Max’s. That’d be just like him.”

“Is this the roommate you like or the one you hate? It’s impossible to tell with you.” A pillow is hurled in their direction, and Doc kicks it back at them with an unimpressed blink and raised brow. “What?”

“I don’t like Guy. He’s childish and obnoxious and leaves his smelly shoes in the middle of the walkway.” Doc’s mouth twitches at the corner, their eyes threatening to lift at the ends before schooled into impartial coolness, and Honey’s expression darkens in response.

“Is this the same Guy who constantly brings home those Italian ice cups you like? The one who makes a point to do your dishes with his when you’re too tired from work?” Honey begins to open their mouth to retort, but Doc doesn’t let them get a word in, too amused and fond of their friend’s familiar, grumpy attitude. “The one who you listen to sing in the shower.”

“He’s really loud!” they object, bristling in indignant embarrassment.

“And you’re a mess. Ask him if he wants to make out already so I can order delivery in peace,” Doc snarks affectionately, a half-grin on their face as they tap away at their phone and look up Max’s number.

“Fuck you,” Honey mumbles obstinately, without venom.

“Been there, done that, Hon- move on. Can we get thin crust pizza?”

“Fuck no.”

午後我去皮革工廠選擇和購進客戶要的側背包的備材-內層式樣半成品，途經北高雄自由三路上著名的黃昏市場買了水果，突然好想吃披薩，於是晚餐去漢神餐廳吃了據說很好吃的"薄餅義大利海鮮披薩"~真的很好吃! 但我希望不是因為我餓了。lol (我喜愛餅皮薄、酥脆和厚起司的披薩。)

In the afternoon, I went to the leather factory to select and purchase the spare materials for the side backpack that the customer wanted - the semi-finished inner layer style. I passed by the dusk market on North-Kaohsiung Ziyou 3nd Rd and bought some fruit (This traditional market is popular specialized in food). I suddenly felt like eating pizza, so I went to Hanshen Restaurant for dinner. then It is said there's a very delicious Italian Pizza store, I picked seafood pizza, umm… simply delicious! but I hope not because I was hungry lol. (I love pizza with thin, crispy crust and thick cheese.) Lan~*

👆 I met a tired bird and gave a little water to it. 🙂 ... later it's flying on the tree. 🐦

👇 I passed by the dusk market on North-Kaohsiung Ziyou 3nd Rd.

👇 A very delicious Italian Pizza restaurant in the Hanshen shopping mall. 😋

👆 這一對夫妻坐在那全程共45分鐘又18秒除了吃和喝，完全沒有任何交談，倆人都一直沉迷在手機裡。 😆😏 我真的很好奇，夫妻生活中的其他的無數個45分鐘，他們是否會珍視和在乎彼此的交談片刻? 還是他們根本就是與手機和網路結婚了。(The couple sat there for a total of 45 minutes and 18 seconds without any conversation except eating and drinking. Both of them were addicted to their smart-phones. 😆😏 I was really curious, among the countless other 45 minutes in that couple's life, will they cherish and care about the moments of conversation with each other? Or are they simply married to smart-phones with the Internet.)

Silly Game Time: Bringing back a favorite! Describe the perfect pizza.

I like anchovies and Olives on my pizza. With mushrooms and tomato sauce. And the thin Italian style crust.

😋😋

[riflebrass]

The other day I made a creamy garlic chicken pizza that was pretty good, but the crust was too thick. It seemed like no matter how much I stretched out the dough with a rolling pin it just snapped back to where it was before. Today I tried again and each pass I made it eventually came out a bit bigger than before so I stretched the whole thing out to where I wanted it. To try and get the crust a little crispier I stabbed the shit out of it with a fork for steam to escape. Since I had so much trouble sliding the last pizza into the skillet this time around I decided to just build the pizza in the pan. Figuring that would take a while I decided not to pre-heat the skillet in the oven. While the crust was initially rolled out as thin as I wanted it I found out that it was too big for my skillet. I kinda folded some of the crust over on itself getting it all in the pan. I think moving forward I will trim about 1/4 of the dough off the ball before I roll it out.

This time around I'm going for a meaty pizza. There's some ham, salami, Italian sausage, and olives with some basil spaghetti sauce. I put a little extra mozzarella on top to kinda glue it all together since a lot of the meat wasn't in direct contact with the cheese underneath.
