For the falafel

• 1 pinch of nutmeg
• 1 pinch each of turmeric, curry powder, onion powder and chili powder

Instructions

 

Sourdough pizza

• Mix the ingredients for the pizza dough together the day before and leave to rise overnight, covered.

Falafel

• Wash the lentils and boil with water until soft. The result should be a creamy, firm mixture. Season to taste with the spices. Mix the cornflour with 2 teaspoons of cold water in a cup until smooth and add to the lentil mash. Bring to the boil so that it thickens. Then leave to cool.

Covering

• Cut the red cabbage into very small pieces and wash.
• Dilute the tomato purée with water and mix with the pizza seasoning, salt and chili powder.

Finish

• Slide the pizza dough onto a floured surface and leave to rise for approx. 30 minutes. Then divide into 3 parts. Roll each part out flat on a floured surface, roll up, round and press flat again. Repeat the process 2 – 3 times. Then roll out into small round dough pieces.
• Top each piece of pizza dough. First spread the tomato puree on top. Then add the finely chopped red cabbage. Finally, take small balls from the falafel dough and press each one slightly flat. Place on top of the red cabbage.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius top/bottom heat.
• Place the pizza slices on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Then leave to rise for another 15 minutes. Cover with additional baking paper and bake in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for approx. 15 – 20 minutes.

Tips

If you want to bake a wholemeal spelt bread, it’s best to make more dough and take away the amount for the sourdough pizza with red cabbage. You can of course also use finely chopped red onions as a topping. Of course, you can also use a normal pizza dough with yeast. However, sourdough has that certain something in terms of flavor. However, it needs a longer maturing time.
