Ramadan Mubarak!
As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, our hearts are filled
with excitement and gratitude for this sacred time of reflection,
spiritual growth, and devotion. Ramadan is a time to fast
from dawn to sunset and an opportunity to strengthen our
connection with Allah (God), purify our hearts, and ground
ourselves spiritually. It's a month of heightened devotion, prayer,
and good deeds—a month every Muslim eagerly awaits.
This is a time to remember the struggles of those facing hunger,
poverty, war, or oppression. Ramadan is an opportunity to grow in empathy and gratitude for our
blessings, to be big-hearted and not wasteful. It teaches compassion and encourages
kindness, generosity, and service to others.
Charity is especially encouraged during Ramadan. No matter how small, every good deed is magnified, and Allah's mercy is abundant, especially this month. Every act of kindness and generosity this
month brings greater rewards and is a great way to cultivate
better habits.
Fasting also has numerous scientific benefits, enhancing physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being.
As we embark on this month of reflection, gratitude, and charity, let
us also remember to keep those being tested worldwide in our thoughts and prayers,
offering support and love in any way we can. May this Ramadan bring
peace, joy, and spiritual growth.
Now, let's get back to this easy recipe!
This 3-Ingredient Dough is super easy to make—it literally has three
ingredients (if we minus the toppings)! It's also an excellent way to use up
any Greek yoghurt you may have in the fridge, while adding more protein into your diet.
OTHER 3-INGREDIENT DOUGH USES
You can make
plain dinner rolls, burger buns or sliders. You can also make stuffed rolls like I
did and change the stuffing to whatever options you have, such as
other cheeses or meats. Another option for this 3-Ingredient Dough is
to make pizza, calzones, or flatbread.
Quick Note
- This recipe yeilds 1 large pizza/calzone. Depending on how big you'd like your dinner rolls or stuffed rolls, you can make approximately 12 burger-size buns and 24 small rolls (like the ones in the picture).
- As you mix the ingredients to form the dough, if it's coming together and seems too dry or sticky, you may need to add more flour or Greek yogurt. Do not add too much or immediately; first, knead the dough, ensuring all the ingredients are combined.
- Leaving it to rest before rolling is a must, 15 - 30 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
Dough:
2 Cups All-Purpose Flour (you can also use brown flour)
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 1/4 Cup Greek Yoghurt
Other:
1/3 Cup Butter
1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic
1 tsp Dry Parsley
or
Herby Garlic Butter
1 Tbsp Za'atar
1/2 tsp Sumac
METHOD WITH PICTURES
1. Preheat the oven to 200 Degrees C, and grease a baking tray.
2. Combine the flour, baking powder, and Greek yoghurt in a mixing bowl. Mix until the ingredients are combined, forming a smooth ball of dough. If the dough seems too dry or sticky, you may need to add more flour or Greek yogurt. Do not add too much or immediately; first, knead the dough, making sure all the ingredients are combined.
3. Leave the dough to rest for 15 - 30 minutes.
4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll it into a large, even
circle. Now, if you're making pizza, calzones, or anything else with this
dough recipe, you would not continue the other steps except determining how
long to bake it.
5. Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, make horizontal and vertical cuts
through the dough to create a grid of small squares (about 2-3 inches
wide).
6. Place a spoonful of grated cheese in the centre of each square.
7. Carefully fold the edges of each square corner over the cheese, bringing the
sides together to enclose the filling. Pinch them to seal each roll
securely till you're left with a dough ball, adding them to the lined
baking pan.
8. In a separate bowl, melt butter, dry parsley, and crushed garlic.
Generously brush the herby garlic butter over the rolls.
9. Next, top with Za'atar and Sumac.
10. Pop the rolls into the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the
rolls turn nice and golden.
11. Finally, serve it while it's hot and enjoy!
