Who doesn't love pizza? It's one of the most beloved dishes worldwide, with a rich and varied history. From traditional dough that requires time and patience to quick and innovative versions, pizza has evolved to adapt to modern lifestyles. Today, I will present to you a quick pizza recipe, perfect for those days when the craving for pizza hits suddenly, but you don't have the time or desire to knead the dough.
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 25 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4-5 slices of bread (preferably whole grain or rye for a richer taste)
- 250 ml milk (you can also use plant-based milk for a lactose-free option)
- 2 eggs
- Ketchup (to taste)
- Dried salami (a few slices)
- Red bell pepper (a few slices)
- Sliced leek (a few slices)
- 4 large pitted olives
- 100 g grated cheese (you can opt for mozzarella or any other cheese that melts well)
- 50 g processed cheese (for a creamy and savory taste)
Preparation Steps:
1. Preparing the Base: Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleaning easier.
2. Preparing the Bread: In a bowl, pour 250 ml of milk. Take each slice of bread and quickly dip it in the milk, ensuring it is well soaked but not falling apart. Place the slices of bread across the entire surface of the tray, forming an even base. This will be the foundation of your quick pizza.
3. Egg Mixture: Crack the two eggs into a bowl, add the remaining milk, and whisk them well until combined. Pour this mixture over the bread slices, spreading it evenly with a spatula to cover all corners.
4. Baking the Base: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the base turns golden and crispy on top.
5. Preparing the Ingredients: Meanwhile, slice the ingredients: the salami and bell pepper, and cut the leek into thin rounds. Remove the pits from the olives and cut them in half or slices.
6. Assembling the Pizza: After 10 minutes of baking, take the base out of the oven. Add a thin layer of ketchup over the entire surface. Evenly distribute the slices of salami, bell pepper, leek, and olives. Finally, add the grated cheese and processed cheese, drizzling a little ketchup for extra flavor.
7. Final Baking: Put the pizza back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and starts to brown.
8. Serving: The pizza can be served hot or cold, depending on your preference. It's perfect for a quick family dinner or a casual get-together with friends.
Nutritional Benefits: This quick pizza not only satisfies hunger but also provides a combination of protein from the eggs and cheese, carbohydrates from the bread, and fresh vegetables, all contributing to a balanced meal. If you use whole grain bread, you'll also benefit from fiber, essential for healthy digestion.
A Few Useful Tips:
- Variations: You can experiment with various ingredients, such as mushrooms, jalapeños, or even pineapple for a tropical touch.
- Substitutions: If you don't have salami, you can use ham, pepperoni, or even tofu for a vegetarian option.
- Serving: This pizza pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a refreshing drink, such as lemonade or iced tea.
