Preparation time: 20 minutes
Rising time: 1 hour
Baking time: 10-12 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 32 minutes
Number of servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

For the dough:
- 500 g flour (ideally type 00 flour for a more elastic dough)
- 300 ml dark beer (choose a quality beer for a rich flavor)
- 1 packet of dry yeast (approximately 7 g)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (an essential ingredient for perfect texture)
- 1 teaspoon salt (remember, salt helps develop flavors)

Toppings:
- 150 g country salami (you can choose smoked or spicy salami, depending on your preference)
- 150 g smoked loin (an ingredient that will add depth to the flavor)
- 200 g mushrooms (fresh or canned, sliced thin)
- 100 g olives (black or green, sliced)
- 150 g canned corn (for a sweet note)
- 200 g pizza cheese (mozzarella is an excellent choice)
- 200 g tomato sauce (homemade tomato sauce offers an authentic taste)

Preparation:

1. Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, add the flour, dry yeast, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients to ensure the yeast is evenly distributed.

2. In another container, combine the dark beer with the olive oil. It’s important for the beer to be at room temperature to activate the yeast. Add the liquid mixture to the bowl with flour.

3. Mix the ingredients with a spatula or your hands until you achieve a homogeneous mixture. Begin kneading the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If it’s too sticky, you can add a little more flour.

4. Form a ball from the dough and cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for one hour, until it doubles in size. This step is essential for obtaining a fluffy and airy dough.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the toppings. Cut the salami and smoked loin into thin slices, and slice the mushrooms and olives into rounds. Drain the canned corn and prepare the grated cheese.

6. Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured work surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a circle that fits the greased baking tray.

7. Transfer the dough to the tray and spread the tomato sauce evenly over the entire surface. Arrange the slices of salami, smoked loin, mushrooms, olives, and corn nicely. Finally, sprinkle the cheese on top.

8. Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 220°C. Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese melts and begins to bubble.

9. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Then, slice it and serve immediately with a cold beer. It’s the perfect combination for a relaxing evening!

Helpful tips:
- If you want a crispier pizza, you can preheat the tray in the oven before placing the dough on it.
- Experiment with toppings! You can add peppers, onions, or even pineapple if you enjoy a sweet contrast.
- Pizza is delicious cold, so feel free to serve it the next day!

Nutritional benefits:
Pizza is a good source of carbohydrates from the dough, proteins from the cheese and salami, and the added vegetables contribute vitamins and fiber. Moderation is key, but a slice of pizza can be a reasonable choice within a balanced diet.

Frequently asked questions:
1. Can I use a different type of beer?
Yes, you can use any type of beer, but dark beer provides a more intense flavor.

2. How can I store pizza for the next day?
Wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and keep them in the fridge. Reheat them in the oven or microwave.

3. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Sure! Whole wheat flour will provide a denser texture and richer flavor. It may require a bit more water.

Royal Pizza is more than just a dish; it’s an occasion to enjoy wonderful moments with loved ones, savoring each delicious slice. So, put on your apron and enjoy this culinary feast!
