Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour and 50 minutes
Number of servings: 4

Ingredients for the dough:
- 250 g flour (preferably type 00 for a fine texture)
- 25 g fresh yeast (or 7 g dry yeast)
- a pinch of salt
- warm water (about 150 ml, but it may vary)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for added flavor and elasticity)

Ingredients for the filling:
- about 150 g salami victoria (or another type of preferred salami)
- about 100 g cheese (choose a tasty cheese that melts well)
- 150 g mozzarella (for that creamy and stretchy texture)
- leaves from 5-6 green onions (finely chopped for a fresh taste)
- San Fabio tomato puree (or any other quality tomato sauce)

Preparing the dough:

1. Sifting the flour: Start by sifting the flour into a large bowl. This step is essential to avoid lumps and to introduce air into the flour, making the dough fluffier. Add a pinch of salt and mix.

2. Activating the yeast: In the center of the flour, make a well and add the crumbled yeast. If using dry yeast, you can add it directly to the flour. The fresh version needs to be activated. Pour warm water over the yeast and let it sit for a few minutes until it becomes frothy.

3. Mixing the ingredients: Start to combine the yeast with the flour, beginning from the center of the well and gradually incorporating the flour from around. Slowly add warm water until you obtain a homogeneous dough that does not stick to your hands.

4. Adding the oil: Incorporate the two tablespoons of olive oil into the dough. The oil will make the dough more elastic and will provide a pleasant taste.

5. Kneading: Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead for about 10 minutes. The dough should become elastic and smooth. A useful trick: if it stretches and tears easily, it needs more kneading.

6. Rising the dough: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour and a half. You will know it is ready when it has doubled in size.

Preparing the filling:

1. Chopping the ingredients: While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling. Cut the salami victoria and cheese into small cubes, and tear the mozzarella into pieces. Chop the green onion leaves finely to add a fresh taste.

Assembling the pizza:

1. Preparing the tray: Preheat the oven to 220°C (or 200°C if you have a fan). Grease a round pizza tray with oil and place a sheet of baking paper.

2. Shaping the dough: After the dough has risen, gently punch it to release the air. Roll it out on a floured work surface, forming a disc the size of the tray.

3. Adding the ingredients: Place the dough in the prepared tray. Evenly spread the tomato puree over the entire surface, leaving a little space at the edges. Then sprinkle the cubes of salami, cheese, mozzarella, and green onion leaves on top.

4. Baking the pizza: Place the tray in the oven and bake the pizza for about 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy. A trick to achieve a crispier crust is to place a dish of water in the oven, which will generate steam.

Serving:

The pizza is delicious served hot, but can also be enjoyed cold, making it perfect for picnics or quick snacks. You can accompany it with a fresh green salad or a yogurt sauce with dill for a refreshing contrast.

Calories and nutritional benefits:

One serving of pizza contains approximately 350 calories, depending on the ingredients used. This recipe offers a combination of proteins from salami and cheese, carbohydrates from flour, and vitamins from green onions, making it a balanced choice for a meal.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use dry yeast instead of fresh yeast? Yes, 7 g of dry yeast is equivalent to 25 g of fresh yeast.
2. How can I make the dough rise faster? You can leave it in a warm place, such as next to a radiator or in the preheated oven at 50°C (then turned off).
3. What other ingredients can I add? You can experiment with vegetables such as peppers, mushrooms, or olives, as well as various types of cheese.

Recipe variations:

- Substitute salami victoria with prosciutto or bologna for a different taste.
- You can add spices such as oregano or basil to the tomato sauce to enhance the flavors.
- If you prefer it crispier, you can bake the crust for a few minutes in advance before adding the filling.
