Total preparation time: 20 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 10 minutes
Number of servings: 2-3 servings

Ingredients:

- 1 free-range egg
- 3 tablespoons of yogurt (preferably Greek yogurt for a creamier texture)
- 7 tablespoons of whole wheat flour (or white flour, depending on preference)
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce (preferably homemade for an authentic taste)
- 2-3 pieces of cooked chicken (or any other preferred meat)
- 2 mushrooms (cooked and diced)
- 2-3 olives (pitted and chopped)
- 1 tomato (sliced)
- Mozzarella (or preferred cheese, to taste)
- Parmesan or cheese (to taste, for added flavor)

Preparing the dough:

1. Start by beating the egg in a large bowl. Make sure it's well incorporated for a uniform base for the dough.

2. Add the yogurt and mix until smooth. The yogurt will provide a delicious taste and help achieve a fluffier texture.

3. In another bowl, combine the whole wheat flour with the baking powder. It's essential to use whole wheat flour for added nutrients, but you can opt for white flour if you prefer.

4. Incorporate the flour mixture into the egg and yogurt mixture, mixing gently until you get a dough thicker than pancake batter.

5. If it's too thick, you can add an extra tablespoon of yogurt to achieve the desired consistency.

Preparing the pizza:

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. You can use a drop of oil to lightly grease the skillet, but it's not strictly necessary.

2. Pour the dough into the skillet, leveling it evenly. Make sure it's distributed evenly for even baking.

3. Cover the dough with a lid and let it bake for 5 minutes. This is the secret to getting a fluffy and well-cooked dough.

4. After 5 minutes, remove the lid and add the tomato sauce, followed by your preferred ingredients. You can use chicken, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and cheese as you like.

5. Cover the skillet again and let the pizza continue to bake for another 5 minutes. The cheese will melt beautifully, and the flavors will combine perfectly.

6. When ready, remove the pizza from the skillet with a spatula and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serving and suggestions:

This quick pizza is perfect to serve alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. You can also offer a refreshing drink, such as natural fruit juice or iced tea, to complete the culinary experience.

Variations:

- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or goat cheese, for different flavors.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to boost the nutritional value of the pizza.
- Replace the tomato sauce with pesto or white sauce for a unique twist.

Practical tips:

- Make sure all ingredients are prepared before you start cooking to save time.
- Involve the kids in the cooking process by letting them add their favorite toppings to the pizza. This will not only make them eat more easily but will also turn cooking into a fun activity.
- You can prepare the dough in advance and keep it in the fridge for when you need a quick meal.
