Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 55 minutes
Number of servings: 8-10 pieces

Necessary ingredients:

*For the dough:*
- 500 g flour (preferably type 000)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 cube of fresh yeast (or 7 g dry yeast)
- 200 ml warm milk
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar

*For the filling:*
- 1/2 chicken breast (approximately 250 g)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 100 g pitted olives (optional)
- 150 g grated cheese
- 2 eggs (one hard-boiled)

*Pizza sauce:*
- 200 g pizza sauce (or seasoned tomato sauce)

Preparation steps:

1. Preparing the dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and add the crumbled yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Cover with a little flour and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the yeast starts to bubble.
- Once the yeast is activated, add the olive oil and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and non-sticky. You can use a food processor or knead by hand for about 10 minutes.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place, covered with a damp towel, for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

2. Preparing the filling:
- Meanwhile, slice the chicken breast into thin strips. Fry them in a pan with a little oil until browned and fully cooked. Let them cool.
- Boil one egg for 10 minutes, then cool it under cold water, peel it, and slice it.
- Cut the red bell pepper into thin strips and, if you choose, slice the olives into rounds.

3. Assembling the roll:
- After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll it out into a rectangular sheet about 1 cm thick.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the entire surface of the dough. Arrange the chicken strips, slices of bell pepper, olives, grated cheese, and slices of hard-boiled egg.
- Carefully roll the dough starting from one end to form a tight roll. Ensure the filling does not spill out.

4. Cutting and baking:
- With a knife dusted with flour, cut the roll into thick slices of about 2-3 cm. Place them cut-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Beat the other egg and brush each slice with it for a golden and shiny crust.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden and crispy.

5. Serving:
- Serve the rolled mini pizza warm, alongside a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce with dill, which will perfectly complement the flavors. You can garnish with fresh herbs like basil or parsley for a more appealing look.

Chef's tip:
If you want to add a touch of extra flavor, you can include spices like oregano or basil in the pizza sauce. You can also experiment with various fillings, such as mushrooms, spinach, or even feta cheese for a vegetarian option.

Nutritional information:
Each serving of rolled mini pizza contains approximately 250-300 calories, depending on the ingredients used. These rolls are rich in protein due to the chicken and egg, while the vegetables provide valuable vitamins and minerals.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I replace the chicken with another type of meat? Yes, you can use turkey, beef, or even ham. Make sure the meat is cooked before adding it to the filling.
- How can I store the rolled mini pizza for later? You can keep the rolls in the fridge in an airtight container for 2-3 days or freeze them. Reheat in the oven to restore their crunchiness.
