Preparation
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Peel the potatoes, onions, and carrot. Wash all vegetables thoroughly.
- Grate the potatoes and carrot into a large mixing bowl.

Step 2: Mix the Batter
- In the same bowl, crack in the eggs and add the sour cream or yogurt. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually sift in the flour and baking powder. Add salt, pepper, and oregano to taste. Stir until a smooth, thick batter forms.
Step 3: Cooking the Base
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C (355 °F).
- Grease a large baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
- Spread the vegetable mixture evenly across the tray, ensuring it’s about 2–3 cm thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20–25 minutes or until the edges begin to turn golden brown.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
- Remove the tray from the oven and evenly spread ketchup or tomato sauce over the baked base.
- Layer slices of sausage or deli meats on top (optional).
- Sprinkle generously with grated cheese.
Step 5: Finish Baking
- Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions
- Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm.
- Pair with a side salad or a refreshing dip, such as garlic sauce or ranch dressing.
Tips for a Perfect Dish
- For a vegetarian version, skip the sausage and load up on extra vegetables like zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or olives.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste—add chili flakes for a spicy kick or basil for a herby flavor.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or enjoyed cold for a quick snack.
This dish is a delightful alternative to traditional pizza, with a soft and flavorful vegetable base and a delicious cheesy topping. Once you try it, you might just find yourself making it more often than pizza! 🍕✨
