Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 210°C (410°F). Toss 200g diced sweet potato with 15ml olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 4g sea salt, and 2g black pepper; roast on a parchment-lined sheet for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
- Step 2: Roll 400g all-purpose flour dough into a 25cm circle on a floured surface. Brush edges with oil, then spread evenly with 100g halal cheddar, 100g halal mozzarella, 50g halal gouda, and 50g crumbled halal feta.
