Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Y is for the former country of Yugoslavia, where the largely unsophisticated
peasant cooking is rich in healthy carbohydrates. This recipe for pizza is one which their Italian neighbours might disown, as it uses two raising agents - baking powder and yeast. Nevertheless, children love it.
PIZZA
Serves 4
1lb self-raising flour
1/2 pint milk
1 packet quick yeast
1/2 bottle tomato ketchup, or home-made tomato sauce
1 teaspoon salt
4oz cheese, sliced
slices of red or green peppers*
dried oregano, olive oil
Slightly warm the milk and mix in a bowl with the flour, yeast and salt. On a floured board, make a ball of dough and knead well. Place in a covered bowl and leave in a warm place for 30 minutes to rise.
Heat oven to very hot (450F/230C/Gas 8). Oil a flat baking tray and with your hands press out the dough on to it, flattening it as you go, using your thumbs to make a raised ridge around the edges.
Spread tomato sauce across the surface, then the slices of cheese, then the sliced peppers, and sprinkle with oregano (or dried basil or marjoram). Dribble with olive oil. Bake in hot oven for 20 minutes until sizzling.
*Or add any topping of your choice, such as ham, tuna, salami or peas.
