Ingredients for the filling:
- 3 eggs
- 200 g cheese (telemea, mozzarella, or any preferred cheese)
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 100 g salami, diced or sliced
- 100 g small sausages, sliced

Step by step:

1. Preparing the dough:
Start by dissolving the yeast cube in warm water. Ensure that the water is not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. Add a pinch of salt and 2 tablespoons of margarine (or melted butter) and mix well.

2. Forming the dough:
In a large bowl, gradually add the flour, mixing until you obtain an elastic and easy-to-shape dough. Don’t hesitate to use your hands to knead the dough, as this will help develop the gluten.

3. Rising the dough:
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rise in a cool place for about 30 minutes. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy and tasty crust.

4. Preheating the oven:
While the dough is rising, preheat the oven to 220°C. A high temperature is crucial for obtaining a crispy crust.

5. Preparing the crusts:
After the dough has risen, take it out of the cool place and roll it out on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Shape it into a round or rectangular form, depending on the tray you are using. Place the crust in the pizza tray, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

6. Preparing the filling:
In a bowl, beat the 3 eggs with the grated cheese and your favorite spices (basil, thyme, pepper, chili, and oregano). This mixture will add a delicious flavor to your pizza.

7. Assembling the pizza:
Prick the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming. Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly. Then, add the onion, salami, small sausages, mushrooms, olives, bell pepper, and tomatoes, arranging them nicely for an appetizing look. Finally, grate a generous layer of cheese on top.

8. Baking the pizza:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 20 minutes or until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melted and slightly browned. You will smell a tempting aroma throughout the house!

9. Serving:
Once baked, take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool slightly. You can serve the pizza with a sweet or spicy sauce, depending on your preference. A side of fresh salad will perfectly complement the meal.

Useful tips:
- Ingredient variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese, vegetables, or meats. For example, add pineapple for a tropical pizza or Kalamata olives for a Mediterranean touch.
- Dough care: If your dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour until it becomes easy to handle. If it's too dry, a bit of warm water will bring it to the desired consistency.
- Optimal baking time: Every oven is different, so check the pizza after 15 minutes. If the crust is not browned enough, leave it in for a few more minutes.

Frequently asked questions:
- How can I store pizza to reheat later?
Pizza stores well in the fridge, covered with plastic wrap. To reheat, use the oven to keep the crust crispy.

- Can I freeze pizza?
Yes, pizza can be frozen. Make sure it is completely cooled before wrapping it in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. It can be kept for 2-3 months.

Nutritional benefits:
Pizza can be a balanced meal, rich in protein from eggs and cheese, vitamins from vegetables, and carbohydrates from the crust. Choose fresh and varied ingredients to maximize nutritional benefits.

Serving suggestions:
This delicious pizza can be accompanied by a refreshing beer or a dry white wine. Also, fresh lemonade is an excellent choice for a summer meal.

Whether it's a family dinner or a party with friends, this super pizza is the perfect choice. Enjoy your meal!
