Ham and Salami Pizza recipe

Prepare the Toppings: To the chopped tomatoes, add the grated garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Chop a handful of oregano and add it to the tomato sauce. Mix thoroughly and let it sit. Grate the cheese coarsely.

Remove the cores from the bell peppers and slice them into thin rings.

Make the Dough: Crumble the yeast into a small bowl, add the teaspoon of sugar, pour in the lukewarm water, and mix. Let the yeast mixture sit in a warm place for about 5 minutes until bubbles form. In a large bowl, add the flour, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt.

Pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough by hand or with a mixer until smooth and elastic (add more flour or water if necessary). Shape the dough into a loaf, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 20 minutes.

Form the Dough Balls: Transfer the risen dough to a floured surface and divide it into 2 parts. Shape each piece into a ball and let them rise under a cloth for another 5 minutes.

Shape and Top the Dough: Roll out the dough balls into circles, ensuring they don’t tear. Place them on a baking sheet greased with a little olive oil. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough and sprinkle with grated cheese.

Top with slices of ham, salami, bell peppers, and olives.

Bake the Pizza: Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for about 10 minutes.

Serve the Pizza: Sprinkle the baked pizza with fresh oregano and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
