Pizza with sheep cheese

Sheep cheese pizza: an explosion of flavors and textures in a simple and delicious dish. This quick and easy pizza recipe will turn any meal into a celebration. The total preparation time is approximately 35 minutes, and the recipe is sufficient for 4 servings.

Necessary ingredients:

For the dough:
- 300 g flour
- 1 cup of lukewarm water (approximately 200 ml)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1 packet of baking powder (10 g)
- 4 tablespoons of olive or sunflower oil

For the topping:
- 200 g sheep cheese (grated)
- 100 g dried turkey salami (finely sliced)
- 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- Pizza sauce (approximately 4 tablespoons)

Step-by-step instructions:

1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour with the salt and baking powder. It is important to use good quality flour to achieve an elastic dough. Gradually add the lukewarm water, continuously mixing with a spatula or your hands until you obtain a homogeneous consistency.

2. Adding wet ingredients: Break the egg into a small bowl and lightly beat it with a fork. Add the egg and oil to the flour mixture and continue to knead vigorously. The dough should be tender and not stick to your hands. If necessary, you can adjust the consistency by adding a little flour or water.

3. Resting the dough: Let the dough rest for 10 minutes covered with a damp towel. This step is crucial as it helps the gluten relax, facilitating further stretching.

4. Preparing the topping: While the dough is resting, you can prepare the topping. Grate the sheep cheese on a fine grater so it melts evenly during baking. Slice the turkey salami thinly and the red bell pepper into rings.

5. Forming the pizza: In a greased baking tray, roll out the dough into a round sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Moisten the surface with pizza sauce, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle a generous layer of grated cheese, followed by the slices of salami and the rings of bell pepper. Add another layer of cheese for extra flavor.

6. Baking the pizza: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Place the tray in the oven and bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes until the dough turns golden and crispy, and the cheese melts beautifully.

7. Serving: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. It is delicious served warm, alongside a glass of red wine, which will enhance the flavors.

Suggestions and variations:
- You can add other topping ingredients such as black olives, mushrooms, or caramelized onions to customize the pizza to your taste.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can use whole wheat flour instead of white flour, offering a deeper flavor and denser texture.
