Beef Shigureni

Method
- 1
Pour the warm water in a bowl and add the yeast to activate it. Add the rest of the [A] ingredients and mix with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Shape the dough into a ball and put it into an oiled bowl. Cover and let sit in a warm place for about 20 minutes to rise.

While the dough is rising, make the beef shigureni. Cut the beef strips into bite-size lengths.

Peel the ginger and then finely julienne it. Soak the ginger in cold water and then let it dry.

Pour the [B] ingredients into a pot and bring them to a simmer until the liquid reduces by half. Mix the julienned ginger in and let it all simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool.

Preheat the oven to 425°F/218° C.

Poke the dough to remove the air bubbles and then cut them into two equal portions and form each into a ball. Place one portion on a lightly floured surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a circle. Top half of the circle with the beef shigureni and top the other half with your choice of a 4-cheese blend. Then sprinkle the cheese half with black pepper. Repeat with the second dough portion.

Bake each pizza for about 15 minutes, and you’re done!
Tips
- Tip: For something different, try drizzling some honey over the cheese half right after you take it out of the oven. It’s good!
