Step by step: Preparing the pizza

1. Preparing the dough
Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, add the milk, flour, two of the three eggs, oil, and salt. Use a whisk or spatula to mix the ingredients until you obtain a homogeneous mixture, similar to pancake batter but denser. This is where you can add your personal touch by adding spices like oregano or basil for extra flavor.

2. Preparing the pan
Grease the pizza pan with butter to prevent sticking (or you can use baking paper for easier cleaning). Make sure the butter is evenly distributed over the entire surface.

3. Baking the dough
Pour the dough mixture into the prepared pan and place the pan in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 5 minutes. The dough will start to bake and become slightly firm.

4. Adding the cheese
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese on top. Put the pan back in the oven for another 5 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt and turn golden.

5. Adding the ingredients
After the cheese has melted, take the pan out of the oven and add the diced smoked chicken breast, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. These vegetables not only add color to the pizza but also a fresh and crunchy taste.

6. Finalizing the pizza
Boil the last egg for 10 minutes, then let it cool, after which grate it over the pizza. If you are a cheese fan, you can add an extra layer of cheese for an extra creamy result. Put the pan in the oven for another 5 minutes to ensure everything is well integrated and browned.

7. Serving
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it. Serve it with a delicious white sauce that can be made from Greek yogurt, garlic, and dill. This sauce adds a touch of freshness that perfectly complements the flavors of the pizza.

Useful tips

- Customization: Feel free to customize your pizza! You can add olives, mushrooms, or even pineapple for a tropical touch. Every ingredient brings something special, so be creative!

Of course! Mozzarella, feta cheese, or any other cheese you prefer can be used. Each cheese will bring a different flavor to your pizza.

- How can I make the dough less dense?
If you prefer a lighter dough, you can add half a packet of baking powder to the dough mixture.
