I found that some Koreans make simple pizzas with dumpling pastry at home. It is very quick to make as long as you can get the dumpling pastry easily. You can buy some at a supermarket in Korea for about 1,300 won (US $1.40) for 260g of pre-made dumpling pastry.
This is a picture of dumpling pastry package. (I bought the package that contains green tea powder which is a little bit more expensive than white flour pastry. Though you can use either pastry. They are next to each other, so are easy to find.) - It is stored next to the instant dumplings or pork cutlets section, which implies in the fridge.
Ingredients for 2 people (12 small pizzas) - You can alter with any topping you want.
- 7 black pitted olives
- 2 sausages
- 1/2 an onion
- 1/2 a capsicum
- 3 mushrooms (I was going to use button mushrooms, but I only had shiitake mushrooms)
- Shredded cheese 2 fistful
- Dumpling pastry 12 sheets
- Tomato sauce (Ketchup) - 3 to 4 tbsp (depends on whether you like a bit stronger taste or not. Pizza that had more tomato sauce tastes better for me.)
Preparation
- Finely chop the onion and capsicum.
- Thin slice the olive, sausage, and mushrooms.
- Paste the tomato sauce on the pastries.
Cooking (with small oven)
1. Place them on the oven tray. (this way, you don’t spill the toppings.)
2. Add the toppings on the top of the pastries as you like.
3. Bake them on 210˚C for 10 minutes.
4. Serve them on the plate.
If you don’t have an oven, you can bake them on the frying pan with some oil. (bake them until the cheese melts, usually it takes about 5-6 minutes) I tried this way too, though it wasn’t as convenient as oven baking, and it tastes different. Pan baked pizza tastes like pan pizza, and oven baked pizza (without oil) tastes like thin pizza.
By the way, if you can’t get the dumpling pastries, you can use my tortilla recipe to substitute for the pastry and make some small tortillas out of it instead of big ones. I think it will work out well too.
