Ingredients:
For the dough:

- 250 ml lukewarm milk
- 4 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 small cube of fresh yeast (or 7 g of dry yeast)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup concentrated broth

For the topping:
- 1 medium can of corn
- 80 ml olive oil
- 1 jar of mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 100 g olives (mix of green and black)
- Small cubes of telemea cheese
- 200 g grated cheese
- Oregano, basil, and thyme (to taste)
- Salami (to preference)
- Ham (optional)

Step by step for a perfect pizza

1. Preparing the broth sauce: In a saucepan, add 80 ml of olive oil and the cup of broth. You can add oregano, thyme, and basil to taste. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. This sauce will add an intense and aromatic flavor to your pizza.

2. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the cube of yeast in a little lukewarm milk (not hot!), adding a teaspoon of sugar. Mix well and let the yeast rise for 5-10 minutes until a foam forms.

3. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, add the flour and make a small crater in the middle. Pour in the yeast mixture, the rest of the lukewarm milk, and the room temperature oil. Sprinkle the salt over the flour. Knead the dough for 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

4. Rising the dough: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. The dough should significantly increase in volume.

5. Preparing for baking: Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about half a finger thick. You can choose to make two round pizzas or one large pizza in the baking tray. Place the dough in the greased and lined tray.

6. Adding the sauce and toppings: Spread the previously prepared broth sauce over the dough. Slice the vegetables (peppers and mushrooms) very thinly and arrange them evenly over the dough. Add the corn, olives, telemea cheese cubes, and finally sprinkle the grated cheese on top. You can add salami and ham as desired.

7. Baking the pizza: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Bake the pizza for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn golden and the cheese melts and browns slightly.

8. Serving: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then cut it into slices and serve warm, along with ketchup or your favorite sauce.

Tips and tricks:
- Customization: Don't hesitate to put your stamp on your pizza! You can add olives, jalapeño peppers for a spicy taste, or even pineapple for a sweet note.
- Dough: If you want a crispier dough, you can bake the pizza on a preheated pizza stone.
- Drinks: Salami and vegetable pizza pairs perfectly with a cold beer or a light red wine. Additionally, a fresh cocktail can be an excellent choice for a summer evening.

Nutritional benefits:
This pizza is a good source of carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats, thanks to the olive oil and fresh vegetables. Olives and vegetables add essential vitamins and minerals, while cheese provides calcium. A slice of pizza contains approximately 300-400 calories, depending on the toppings.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use dry yeast? Yes, you can use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast – use 7 g (about one packet).
- How can I make the pizza less caloric? Replace the cheese with a lower-fat version, use more vegetables, and reduce the amount of salami.
- What is the secret to perfect dough? Quality flour and the correct temperature of the liquids are essential. Also, proper kneading helps develop the gluten.

Conclusion:
Pizza with salami and vegetables is not just a recipe, but a culinary experience that brings people together. It can be adapted to everyone's tastes and represents an excellent way to experiment in the kitchen. I hope this recipe inspires you to create a delicious and memorable pizza. Enjoy!
