Born in Halifax in the 1970s, donair is known for its cinnamon-and-cumin-spiced ground beef paired with a sweet garlic sauce; this pizza version spreads the same topping over a thin crust. It is one of Nova Scotia's best-loved party dishes.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

20 min

Knead the flour, fresh yeast, salt, olive oil and lukewarm water into a smooth dough and leave it to rise.

2

Brown the donair topping

8 min

Combine the ground beef with the cinnamon, cumin, black pepper and salt, then brown it in a non-stick pan until the liquid has cooked off.

3

Make the sweet garlic sauce

5 min

Simmer the sugar, vinegar, garlic powder and a few tablespoons of water in a small pan until thickened.

4

Sauce and top

10 min

Roll the dough into a thin round and spread with tomato sauce; scatter over the mozzarella, browned donair topping, tomato and onion.

5

Bake

13 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 230°C until the edges puff up and turn deep golden, then drizzle with the sweet garlic sauce before serving.

Reminder

Drizzle the sweet garlic sauce over the pizza after it comes out of the oven, not before baking, or the sugar will scorch. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Toasting the cinnamon and cumin briefly in the oil before adding the beef brings out a more pronounced spice aroma.

Hamuru ilk kez kendim yoğurdum, mutfağım soğuktu ve 20 dakikada beklediğim kadar kabarmamıştı; yine de fırınlayınca kenarları güzel kabardı, donair harcının tadı gerçekten hoşuma gitti.

Tarçın miktarını ilk seferde tam ölçmeden göz kararı attım, biraz fazla kaçtı ve tatlı sos üzerine gelince baharat ağır bastı; ikinci denemede yarım çay kaşığına sadık kaldım ve denge çok daha iyiydi.
