- 500 g flour
- 7 g dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt

Preparing the Dough
1. In a large bowl, mix the flour with the dry yeast, salt, and sugar.
2. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, stirring with a spatula until the ingredients start to come together.
3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. You can add a little olive oil to your hands to prevent sticking.
4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until it doubles in volume.
Preparing the Tomato Sauce
1. In a pan, add 4 tablespoons of tomato paste and gently heat.
2. Add a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, pepper, dried thyme, and half a teaspoon of honey. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the sauce becomes smooth and aromatic.
Preparing the Topping
1. In the same pan, add a little olive oil and sauté the mushrooms, chicken breast, and bell pepper until browned and tender. This step will intensify the flavors of the ingredients.
2. Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 220°C.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface, forming a round sheet suitable for the pizza tray.
4. Grease the tray with a little oil and transfer the dough to the tray.
Assembling the Pizza
1. Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza base, leaving a little space at the edges.
2. Evenly sprinkle the toppings: mushrooms, chicken breast, bell pepper, slices of cabanos, sausages, and kaiser.
3. Finally, add the grated cheese on top for a delicious, golden crust.
Baking
1. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
2. Once the pizza is ready, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing to allow the ingredients to settle.
Serving
Rich pizza is served hot, alongside a fresh green salad or a garlic yogurt sauce. You can pair it with a cold beer or a dry white wine, which will perfectly complement the flavors.
Tips and Tricks:
- You can modify the toppings according to your preferences; for example, add green or black olives, or even pineapple for a sweet touch.
- If you want a crispier crust, you can place the base in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes before adding the sauce and toppings.
- Use various types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, for a different flavor.
