Homemade Pizza!



For the dough:


Fillings


Beef
Onions, garlic, capsicum(red), broccoli

Other main toppings: ham and salami, eggs, anchovies etc.

Directions:
For the dough:
Mix yeast and lukewarm water and let it rest for 15 minutes to form some bubbles(meaning the yeasts are alive)
In a salad bowl mix the flour and salt, make a hole in the center then pour slowly the yeast/water mixture. Knead the dough for 10 minutes. Form a ball cover with damp tea towel and let it rise for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven 200 C. Sautee the onions, garlic, eggplant, tomatoes(skinned-see note on peeling/blanching tomatoes) for 5 minutes. Add the suchini, capsicum and continue to sautéing for 3 minutes. Then turn off the heat.


Oil the baking dish plate(for pizza).
Take the dough and flatten with a rolling pin or with your hand and place it in the baking dish plate. Place the pizza dough in the oven and precook it for 5 minutes(to make it hard enough o support the toppings otherwise the pizza base will be mashy).
Place the fillings on top of the pizza base then sprinkle emmental cheese, gruyere or parmesan(whatever cheese you like). Put the filled pizza in the oven and cook it for 10 minutes(make sure the oven the heat will be coming from the bottom because top heat will burn the fillings.)
