A brief story about mini pizza

Since ancient times, pizza has been a beloved dish with deep roots in culinary traditions. Throughout history, it has evolved from a simple bread base into various forms, embracing a multitude of ingredients and styles. The mini pizza we will prepare today is a modern adaptation of this classic dish, ideal for satisfying a craving for something tasty in record time.

Necessary ingredients:

- 8 slices of onion bread (choose a bread with a good texture)
- 1 fresh egg
- 1 tablespoon of basil olive oil (for a Mediterranean flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano (for aroma)
- 1 tablespoon of dried thyme (an excellent choice for added flavor)
- 1 teaspoon of curry powder (for an exotic touch)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 10 slices of salami (I used Saxon salami, but you can choose any type you prefer)
- 8 slices of cheese (choose a cheese that melts well)

Preparing the mini pizza: Step by step

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the ingredients on a work surface. Make sure the bread is fresh and that the salami and cheese are cut to the desired sizes.

2. Preparing the egg mixture: In a decent bowl, beat the egg well. Add the basil olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and curry powder. Mix everything with a fork or whisk until you achieve a uniform composition.

3. Greasing the slices of bread: Using a pastry brush, spread the egg mixture on each slice of bread. It’s important not to use all the mixture, so keep some to brush the slices after adding the other ingredients.

4. Adding the salami: Cut small cubes from the 10 slices of salami and evenly distribute them on each slice of bread. This is the stage where you can experiment! If you have other cold cuts or even vegetables, now is the time to add them.

5. Adding the cheese: Slice the cheese and place a slice on each mini pizza. Make sure to cover the salami well with cheese to achieve a golden and delicious crust at the end.

6. Final greasing: Use the remaining egg mixture to brush each slice of bread again. This will help achieve a crispy and golden crust.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the mini pizzas on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and put them in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is completely melted and begins to brown nicely.

8. Serving: Once the mini pizzas are ready, you can serve them immediately. Optionally, you can add a little ketchup on top for extra flavor.

Useful tips for a perfect result

- Use bread with a good texture that can withstand baking.
- You can also add other ingredients, such as olives or bell peppers, to customize the mini pizza to your taste.
- If you like more intense flavors, you can add a little crushed garlic to the egg mixture.
- Place the mini pizzas on a pizza stone or a metal tray for even baking.

Nutritional benefits

This quick snack contains protein from the egg and salami, as well as calcium from the cheese. Additionally, the dried herbs add not only flavor but also antioxidants. The onion bread provides complex carbohydrates that will keep you energized.
