Ingredients- 3 cups finely chopped onion
- 2 cups ground beef
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Pizza dough (conveniently made with a store-bought hotteok mix)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp yogurt sauce
- 50g mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/3 tsp nutmeg
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the delicious filling for your pizza. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Add 3 cups of finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Cooking the onions slowly will bring out their natural sweetness, which is key for a flavorful filling.
Step 2
Once the onions are translucent, add 2 cups of ground beef. Break up any clumps with your spoon and cook until the beef is browned. This step not only cooks the meat but also develops its rich flavor.
Step 3
When the beef is fully cooked, season it with 1/2 tsp of dried oregano, 1/2 tsp of allspice, and 1/2 tsp of salt for balanced flavor. Add 1/3 tsp of nutmeg for a warm, aromatic touch. Stir everything together thoroughly to combine the spices and meat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 4
Spread the cooked meat mixture onto a tray or plate and let it cool completely. Placing hot filling on the dough can make it soggy, so ensure it’s cool before assembly. This step is crucial for a crispy crust.
Step 5
Prepare your pizza dough. Using a store-bought hotteok mix is a convenient way to achieve a great crust. Once your dough is ready, use a fork to prick holes all over the surface. This helps prevent the dough from puffing up excessively in the oven and allows steam to escape, contributing to a crispier texture.
Step 6
Generously spread 2 Tbsp of yogurt sauce evenly over the pizza dough. The yogurt sauce adds a creamy, tangy layer that complements the other toppings beautifully. Make sure to spread it close to the edges.
Step 7
Next, arrange the cooled beef and onion mixture evenly over the yogurt sauce. Crucially, leave a space in the center where you’ll place the eggs. This ensures they have room to cook properly without being buried.
Step 8
Carefully crack the eggs into the reserved spaces on top of the beef mixture. Try not to break the yolks. As the pizza bakes, the eggs will cook, adding a rich, decadent element to your pizza.
Step 9
Finally, sprinkle a generous amount of mozzarella cheese over the pizza, covering the toppings. The melting cheese will bind everything together, creating a wonderfully cheesy and delicious pizza.
Step 10
Place the assembled pizza into a preheated oven. A temperature of 180-200°C (350-400°F) is generally recommended, but adjust based on your oven’s performance.
Step 11
Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the pizza crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Your delicious homemade long pizza is ready! Serve immediately and enjoy this special treat.
