COCA DE PIMIENTOS & ANCHOAS
Para 4 personas:
200 mililitros de sifón
500 gramos de harina
100 mililitros de aceite de oliva
50 mililitros de vino blanco
1 bote de pimientos asados
1 lata de anchoas
100 gramos de queso de cabra
Sal
Mezclen en un recipiente el aceite, una puntita de sal, el vino, el sifón con la harina hasta que consigan, con las manos, una masa homogénea. Es importante medir correctamente todo los ingredientes. Sobre el mármol, acaben de amasar la mezcla. Unten la bandeja del horno con aceite y, sobre esta, estiren la masa con las manos mojadas de aceite dándole a la coca la forma deseada. Cubran la coca con los pimientos asados. Cuézanla en el horno durante unos 20 minutos a 180 grados. Añádanle el queso de cabra desmenuzado y las anchoas. Gratínenla para que el queso quede fundido

Pie


Explanation:
Esto salió ayer en otra pregunta. Las cocas o coques catalanas son una especia de empanadillas pequeñas. Entonces, yo lo traduciría como small pies o algo así.

flatbread


Explanation:
The problem with "pizza" is that cocas are often topped with sweet ingredients, like dried fruit, sugar, etc.

agree  sprout: I've used this in the past. There's no yeast in the recipe and the dough isn't left to rise. Also, you're right: they can be sweet, too. The classic "coca" (for Sant Joan) is topped with sugar, pine nuts, etc., and served as dessert.
