4 Squash
1 Onion
Handful of Mushrooms
1 Clove Garlic
Chop onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté in olive oil until slightly caramelized. Chop squash and sauté in olive oil until slightly softened. Add onions, mushroom, and garlic mix. Sprinkle a touch of salt and finish sauté until squash is tender.
4 cups flour
3 teaspoons yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoon olive oil
Mix together flour, yeast, salt, and sugar. Fully mix in warm water and olive oil. Let stand to rise at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Roll out on floured surface, top with all sorts of good things, transfer to heated baking stone*, and bake hot until golden (400 F ~ 210 C).
*The stone should already be hot in the oven, so I use a well floured pizza peel so it slides off onto the stone.

Version 1.0 — pre-Andrew version, made in my first year in Israel
Version 2.0 — you can see the large ginger slices (which are not for eating, unless you’re a hardcore Asian, which we are not although Andrew does come close)
Version 2.1 — with hand-cut noodles, but that’s for another post
After a long day’s work and walking home in the cold, this was just what I needed. Made by Drew :)
