Method

1. In a mixer or mixing bowl, combine flour, water, and yeast and mix for approximately 15 minutes until well incorporated. Rest the dough for 6 hours, and divide it into balls weighing 30 grams each. Set aside, and rest again for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

2. For the spicy tomato sauce: In a pan, add chilli oil, garlic, salt and peeled tomatoes. Cook slowly for 10 minutes, and season with black pepper and a touch of paprika. Add some sugar if the sauce tastes too acidic.

3. To assemble the manakish, stretch out the dough on a floured surface and spread a generous amount of spicy tomato sauce. Add cubed Scamorza cheese and bake in the oven for 3 minutes at 230°C or for longer if your oven is not as hot. Serve warm.
