🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup bread flour
✓ 1/2 tsp instant yeast
✓ 1/4 tsp salt
✓ 1 tsp caster sugar
✓ 1/2 cup warm water
✓ 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
✓ 1 tbsp squid ink (or 1.5 tsp activated charcoal for vegan)
✓ 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
✓ 150g ground beef (93/7 lean)
✓ 3 tbsp Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 tsp Dijon mustard
✓ 1 tbsp diced carrot (finely minced)
✓ 1 tbsp diced onion
✓ 1 tbsp soy sauce
✓ 1 tsp minced ginger
✓ 1 clove garlic (minced)
✓ 1/4 tsp sesame oil
✓ Pinch of white pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Bloom the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, instant yeast, and caster sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. This activates the yeast for reliable rise.

2. Mix Dough Base: In a large bowl, whisk bread flour and salt. Pour yeast mixture into center, then add 2 tbsp olive oil and squid ink (or charcoal paste). Stir with a wooden spoon until shaggy dough forms.

3. Knead Until Smooth: Knead for 8–10 minutes on a lightly oiled surface until dough is smooth, elastic, and jet-black. It should be tacky but not sticky. Divide into 2 equal portions and shape into balls.

4. First Rise: Place dough balls in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise at room temperature for 25–30 minutes until doubled in size.

5. Prepare Soboro Crumble: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Brown 150g lean ground beef, breaking it into fine crumbles (3–4 minutes). Drain excess fat. Add minced garlic, ginger, carrot, and onion; cook 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Cool slightly, then fold in Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard off-heat. Season to taste.

6. Shape & Top: Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). On parchment paper, gently press each dough ball into a 10cm round, about 1cm thick. Divide soboro crumble evenly between the two rounds, mounding slightly. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

7. Second Rise (Optional): Let topped rounds rest for 10 minutes at room temperature for a slightly airier crumb, or proceed directly to baking for denser texture.

8. Bake Until Golden: Bake on a parchment-lined tray for 12–15 minutes until bread base is firm and golden at edges, and soboro topping is set and beginning to caramelize. Transfer to a cooling rack for 2 minutes before serving warm.
