Hi there you have a lovely blog and have bookmarked this recipe for sure to try, i just wondered if you hada recipe for a similar kind of pizza with ground meat and pine nuts shaped like a boat my husbands collegue who was lebanese used to bring them over , i cant seem to find the recipe anywhere it had a particular name too which i have forgotten. Sorry for rambling but got excited when i saw your boat shaped feta cheese ones . Thanks

Thank you for the comment.
I think the recipe you looking for is safiha.just replace lentils with meat,top it with pine nuts and shape it as you like.
I hope that help.

Thanks for the great pita and naan recipes. I had tried pita bread a few times but it was always hard as a rock. Now I see why, the recipes called for 10 minutes at 450F. Two minutes at 550F makes the difference (that and the better recipe too, of course). The only problem I had was that I needed two helpers to fan the smoky air away from the smoke alarms!

Glad to hear that the two recipes works well for you.
you right 2 minutes makes the difference because 10 minutes is to much time for bake flat bread.

Wow, they look super and even more you use my two favourite cheese: I live in Greece and I come from Cyprus so feta and halloumi are our national cheese, respectively. So it is definitely on my to do list. Thanks for Bread Baking Day No. 5 giving us the opportunity to share our recipes and thank you for posting it.
