1

Start by making your dough. This is overnight so do that right now.

2

The next day, start boiling your potatoes, prepare your Afghan yogurt sauce, and make your tomato chutney.

3

Preheat your oven to 450 F. Grease your cookie sheet with olive oil.

4

Drop your pizza dough onto the cookie sheet. Do not attempt to do this with cold dough. Make sure you let it get to room temperature, or it won’t be relaxed.

5

Take your boiled potatoes, mash them, add your spices and salt, and mix it into your chive mixture.

6

Next, drizzle olive oil onto your dough. Then, add your chive/potato mixture.

7

Put into the oven for around 15 minutes. You want the dough to be done and crispy on the edges. Don’t be stingy when greasing your cookie sheet.

After cooking, drizzle with your Afghan yogurt sauce and tomato chutney.
