Introduction
Pizza is one of those universal dishes that manages to bring people together, regardless of age or culture. This recipe brings a touch of innovation by combining chicken breast with keizer, a type of smoked ham that gives it a rich and savory taste. I invite you to discover a delicious, easy-to-prepare pizza, perfect for a family dinner or a get-together with friends.

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30-40 minutes
Total time: 60 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 sachet dry yeast (from DR. Oetker)
- 500 ml lu lukewarm water
- 1/2 cup oil (about 125 ml)
- 1 pinch of salt
- 800 g flour (approximately, adjust as needed)

For the stuffing:
- 1 chicken breast (about 300 g)
- 300 g keizer (or smoked ham)
- 200 g cheese (ideally a slightly salty cheese such as cottage or cottage cheese)
- 4-5 eggs
- 1 large tomato
- 4-5 slices of cheese
- salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Preparing the stuffing:
Start by boiling the chicken breast in a pot of salted water for about 15-20 minutes, until tender. Once cool, cut into small cubes. In a large bowl, combine the chicken breast with the diced keizer, add the grated cheese, salt, pepper and beaten eggs. Mix well until smooth. This filling is the key to the pizza, bringing the perfect balance between the salty taste of the keizer and the creaminess of the cheese.

2. Preparing the dough:
In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in half a cup of lukewarm water. Add a pinch of salt and the oil. Mix well, then begin to gradually incorporate the flour until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a work surface for 5-10 minutes until elastic and smooth. If it is too sticky, add a little more flour. If too stiff, add a little water. The secret to a perfect dough is to knead it with love and patience.

3. Assembling the pizza:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Roll out the dough with your hands or a dough-spinner into a thin sheet that covers the whole tray. Make sure the dough reaches the edges. Pour the filling evenly over the dough, spreading it out well. Garnish with tomato slices and cheese slices on top for an appetizing look and extra flavor.

4. Baking the pizza:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the dough is browned and crispy and the cheese is melted and golden. It is essential not to open the oven during the first 20 minutes of baking to allow the dough to rise properly.

5. Serving:
After removing the pizza from the oven, cover with a kitchen towel for 10-15 minutes. This step is important, as it helps to retain moisture and make the texture fluffier. Cut the pizza into portions and enjoy warm, perhaps with a drizzle of olive oil on top or with a fresh salad.

Helpful hints:
- For even richer flavor, you can add spices like oregano or basil to the topping.
- For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken breast with sautéed vegetables (peppers, mushrooms, zucchini) for a delicious and healthy pizza.
- The pizza can be customized with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, depending on your preferences.

Nutritional benefits:
This pizza provides a good source of protein thanks to the chicken breast and eggs, while the cheese adds calcium. The tomato also provides antioxidants and essential vitamins. Whole wheat flour, if you choose to use it, will add additional fiber and nutrients.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use other meats?
Yes, you can replace chicken breast with turkey or even pork, depending on your preference.

2. What can I do with the leftover pizza?
Pizza can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave to enjoy again.

3. Can pizza be frozen?
Yes, pizza can be frozen before baking. Wrap it tightly in aluminum foil or freezer bags, and you can bake it straight from the freezer.

Possible variations:
- Pizza with vegetables: Add mushrooms, olives or spinach to the filling.
- Spicy pizza: Add a few slices of chilli pepper or hot sauce for a more intense taste.
