Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4
Necessary ingredients:
- Pizza dough (about 500 g, you can use homemade or store-bought)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 3 tablespoons of sweet corn (can be canned or freshly boiled)
- 3 eggs
- 50 g grated cheese (optional, you can also use mozzarella)
- 100 g telemea (sheep or cow cheese)
- Pitted olives (to taste)
- 3-4 tablespoons of universal ketchup
Step by step for a perfect pizza:
1. Preparing the dough
If you are using homemade dough, start by kneading it until it becomes elastic and smooth. Let it rise for about 30 minutes, covered with a clean towel, in a warm place. If you are using store-bought dough, make sure it is at room temperature before using it.
2. Preparing the ingredients
While the dough is rising, wash and chop the vegetables. Cut the bell peppers into small cubes and the green onions into rounds. This step is crucial to ensure an even distribution of flavors on the pizza.
3. Shaping the dough
Once the dough is ready, break off a piece of about 200 g and roll it out into a rectangular sheet about 4 cm wide. In the center of the sheet, add the grated telemea, then fold the edges of the dough to form a border. This will add a special touch and keep the filling inside.
4. Preparing the base
From the remaining dough, roll out a pizza base that is slightly smaller than the baking tray you will use. Make sure the tray is lined with baking paper to prevent sticking.
5. Assembling the pizza
Place the base in the tray and add the cheese border around the edge. Spread ketchup evenly over the base. This will add a note of sweetness and acidity, balancing the flavors.
6. Adding the ingredients
Sprinkle the pitted olives, green onions, diced bell peppers, and sweet corn over the surface of the pizza. These ingredients will bring freshness and texture.
7. Preparing the egg mixture
In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs and add the grated cheese. Mix well until you have a homogeneous composition. Pour this mixture over the vegetables on the pizza.
8. Baking the pizza
Preheat the oven to 180-200°C. Place the pizza in the oven and let it bake for about 25 minutes, or until it is nicely browned on the edges and the filling is well cooked.
Serving suggestions:
This pepper pizza is delicious served warm, alongside a fresh green salad or a garlic yogurt sauce. A bottle of lemonade or a dry white wine will perfectly complement the meal.
Possible variations:
You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, to add a distinct note. You can also add other vegetables, such as mushrooms, zucchini, or even diced ham to make the pizza more substantial.
Nutritional benefits:
This pizza is an excellent source of protein thanks to the eggs and cheese, while the vegetables provide a rich supply of vitamins and minerals. Sweet corn adds fiber, and olives contribute to heart health.
