Ingredients

1 Envelope Active dry yeast
1 1/2 cup Warm water
3 cup Unbleached flour
1 cup Whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
1 Egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoon Vegetable oil
1 teaspoon Finely minced garlic
10 to 12 cloves Garlic, peeled and minced
2 tablespoon Olive oil
1 cup Sour cream
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Minced chives

Directions

1
Sprinkle the yeast over the warm water in a small bowl and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until bubbly.
2
Meanwhile, combine the unbleached flour, whole-wheat flour, Parmesan cheese, 1 beaten egg, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in a food processor bowl.
3
Add the yeast mixture to the food processor and pulse just until the dough forms a cohesive ball.
4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 to 3 minutes until smooth.
5
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
6
Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, forming a rim around the edge. Crimp the edges decoratively.
7
In a small skillet, saut the 10 to 12 minced garlic cloves in olive oil over low heat for 3 to 5 minutes until soft but not browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
8
In a bowl, combine the cooled garlic mixture, sour cream, 2 beaten eggs, and salt. Mix well.
9
Spread the topping evenly over the dough in the pan. Sprinkle with minced chives.
10
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are browned and the topping is set and lightly golden.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or toaster oven for best texture.

Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute the whole-wheat flour with more unbleached flour for a lighter texture. Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream for a tangier flavor.

Tip: Ensure the garlic for the topping is cooked slowly so it becomes sweet and soft rather than bitter. Do not let it brown.
