Necessary ingredients

- 400 g flour
- 4 tablespoons olive oil (or other preferred oil)
- 250 ml lukewarm milk (or water)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet of dry yeast (Dr.Oetker or other brand)
- 150 g ham salami
- 150 g spicy sausages
- 250 g sheep cheese (telemea or cheese)
- 1 bunch of green onions
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 2 eggs
- Pizza spices (oregano, basil, etc.)
- Ketchup, for serving

Dough preparation

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, add 250 ml of lukewarm milk along with 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1 packet of yeast. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This is an essential step, as the activated yeast will help the dough rise and become fluffy.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, combine 400 g of flour with 1 teaspoon of salt and 4 tablespoons of oil. Add the activated yeast mixture and gradually incorporate the lukewarm milk, kneading the dough. It may seem a little sticky at first, but continue kneading until it becomes elastic and smooth.

3. Letting it rise: Once the dough is well kneaded, form a ball and place it in a bowl greased with a little oil. Cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30-40 minutes, or until it doubles in size.

Preparing the toppings

4. Preparing the ingredients: While the dough is rising, you can prepare the toppings. Slice 150 g of ham salami and 150 g of spicy sausages thinly. Grate 250 g of sheep cheese and chop 1 bunch of green onions. Cut 2 tomatoes into slices and 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper into cubes.

5. Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix the pizza spices (oregano, basil) and set them aside.

Assembling the pizza

6. Preparing the tray: Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease a pizza tray (or baking tray) with a little butter or oil and line it with baking paper.

7. Forming the bases: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin until it reaches the desired size, then place it in the tray. Use a fork to prick the dough in several places to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking.

8. Adding the toppings: Cover the base with ketchup, sprinkle the grated cheese, then add the green onions, salami, sausages, tomatoes, and peppers. Finally, beat 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of oil and pour the mixture evenly over the toppings.

Baking the pizza

9. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.

10. Serving: Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes, then cut it into slices and serve it with ketchup on the side for an extra flavor boost.
