Confused by the name? Well, back home we call this Pizzas, but to our followers, it will be more like a pizza pie.

My mum makes this, she came to London all the way from Brazil to visit and to show us how to make it.

Mouth watering pizza pie, it does take a while to prepare and make, but the end result is amazing. Good for any occasion. We used to have this at family gatherings, kids parties, etc. do have a go.

Total Time
3 hr 30 min
Dough
  1. 1 KG + Plain Flour (But a 1.5KG bag, as you might need a little extra)
  2. 1 1/2 cup of milk
  3. 1/2 cup of water
  4. 1/2 cup of oil (vegetable oil, not olive)
  5. 1 x 7 g sachet of yeast (dry fast acting one)
  6. 1 x tea spoon of salt
  7. 1 x tea spoon of sugar
  8. 2 x eggs
Sauce
  1. 1 x can of corn
  2. 1 X can of chopped tomatoes
  3. 8 x chicken thighs
  4. 1 x finely chopped onion
  5. Sliced Cheese (we used processed Mozzarella)
  6. 2 x garlic cloves
  7. 2 x table spoon of Tomato puree
  8. 1 x soup spoon of flour
  9. Salt and black pepper to taste
  10. Some chillies (optional)
Dough
  1. In a pan, heat up the milk and water, not too hot just lukewarm.
  2. Add a tea spoon of sugar.
  3. Pour the mix into a big bawl, add the yeast to the warm milk, mix it well in order to dissolve the yeast.
  4. Gradually add the flour, salt, 2 eggs and start needing it (you will use between 1KG to 1.2KG).
  5. Add the oil , once the ingredients have been combined, transfer it to the work surface and keep working the dough for around 10 to 15 minutes, the dough will be soft and smooth.
  6. Place it back into the bawl, cover it with a dump towel and lit it proof until it has doubled in size.
Tip
  1. Make a small ball of dough, the size of a marble. drop that into a tall clear glass of water. When the dough ball rises to the top of the glass, the dough will have risen enough.
Sauce
  1. Start with the chicken, remove the skin.
  2. On a big pan, add some oil, heat it up and add the chicken.
  3. Let it brow for a while, stirring occasionally
  4. Now add the chopped onion and chopped garlic
  5. Stir occasionally, not to let it burn.
  6. Add salt and black pepper to taste and add a cup of water.
  7. Put the lid back on and let it cook, do check from time to time, as the liquid will evaporate.
  8. Once the liquid has evaporated, the chicken will start frying (you will hear it), let it cook for a few minutes, keep stirring, the point here is to get caramelised and flavour.
  9. Add another cup of water, repeat the process 3 or four times, the chicken will became very soft. remove any oil leftover and save it.
  10. Set the chicken aside to cool down.
  11. Remove the meat from the bone, shred the meat or cut it into very small pieces.
  12. Add the saved oil to another pan, add the shredded chicken meat to the pan.
  13. Add the tomato puree to the pan and cook it for a couple of minutes.
  14. add the corn.
  15. Add the chopped tomatoes.
  16. Cook for a few minutes.
  17. taste for seasoning, add more salt and black pepper if needed, add some chillies of your choice if you want.
  18. Now dissolve 1 soup spoon of flour, to a 1/3 of a cup of water, add that to the sauce, it will thicken it a bit and keep it moist.
  19. Set it aside to cool, don't move to the assembly until the sauce has cooled down.
Assembly
  1. Lightly dust the work surface with some flour.
  2. Cut a piece of dough and using a rolling pin, roll the dough very thinly (I'm talking 3 mm ishhh).
  3. It has to be long enough to cover the bottom of the tray, you don't have to go all the way up the sides.
  4. Now spread the cold sauce all over, just enough to cover the base, 1 cm layer.
  5. Now roll another piece of dough to cover the top of the pie, trim any excess.
  6. For and extra gloss finish brush to top of the pie with egg wash, prior to cooking it (optional).
  7. Place it into a pre-heated oven at 200C for around 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.
  8. Enjoy it.

Meet the Chefs

Our passion for Brazilian cuisine comes from growing up around people that could cook, and cook well. We praise our parents and grandparents culinary skills. We Brazilians love food and especially the social side of it, getting together with friends and family, having a few beers and eating great food.
