Necessary Ingredients

*For the dough:*
- 1 ½ cups of flour
- 100 ml milk (or water, depending on preference)
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 packet of baking powder
- 2-3 tablespoons of oil (for a softer dough)

*For the topping:*
- 100 g ham (salami, bologna, etc.)
- 1 small zucchini, sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small eggplant, sliced (optional)
- 150 g grated cheese
- 100 g mushrooms, sliced (optional)
- Ketchup (sweet or spicy, according to preference)

Step by Step: Making the Pizza

1. Preparing the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and salt. These ingredients will form the perfect base for your dough. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of the baking powder.

2. Adding the Liquids
Gradually add the milk and oil to the flour mixture. Use a spatula or your hands to start mixing until the ingredients are incorporated. If the dough is too dry, you can add a bit of milk, and if it’s too wet, a sprinkle of flour.

3. Kneading the Dough
Once the ingredients are combined, knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic and no longer sticks to your fingers. It’s important not to rush this step, as well-kneaded dough will lead to a better pizza.

4. Rolling Out the Dough
Grease a baking tray with oil and spread the dough evenly in the tray, making sure to cover all corners. You can use a rolling pin, but if you prefer, you can stretch the dough with your hands, being careful not to thin it too much.

5. Preparing the Topping
Now it’s time to get to work on the vegetables and cold cuts! Cut the ham into cubes, the zucchini into rounds, the tomatoes into slices, the bell pepper into cubes, and the mushrooms into slices. This step will allow you to play with the texture and color of your pizza.

6. Assembling the Pizza
Spread ketchup over the base, covering the entire surface evenly. Then layer the cold cuts, vegetables, and finally sprinkle the grated cheese on top. This will melt and create a delicious crust.

7. Baking the Pizza
Preheat the oven to a medium-high temperature (about 200°C) and place the tray with the pizza inside. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

8. Serving
Once the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into slices and serve with sweet or spicy ketchup, depending on your preferences.

Practical Tips for a Perfect Pizza

- The Dough: Always use quality flour, and for an even tastier dough, you can try adding a tablespoon of dried herbs (oregano, basil, or rosemary) to the dough.
- The Toppings: Be creative! You can add olives, hot peppers, pineapple, or even eggs. Pizza is a canvas for your culinary creativity!
- Calories and Nutritional Benefits: A serving of pizza has about 300-400 calories, depending on the toppings. It is a good source of carbohydrates, but make sure to include vegetables to add fiber and vitamins.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use yeast instead of baking powder?
While you can use yeast, the recommendation is to use baking powder for a crispier and easier-to-make dough.

2. What types of cheese can I use?
Besides cheese, you can use mozzarella, parmesan, or even goat cheese for a different taste.

3. How can I store pizza for the next day?
Pizza can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. Reheat it in the oven or microwave to restore its crispiness.
