Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix the flour, yeast and 8 g of the salt. Add the lukewarm water and olive oil and knead for 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.

  2. 2

    Very finely chop the onion, tomato, peppers and parsley; drain off the excess tomato juice.

  3. 3

    Knead the beef with the chopped vegetables, black pepper and the remaining 5 g salt for 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to its highest setting (250-270 °C). Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and rest for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin strip about 50 cm long and 15 cm wide; transfer to a parchment-lined tray.

  6. 6

    Spread a quarter of the topping in a thin layer right to the edges and press it in with your fingers.

  7. 7

    Bake on the lowest rack for 8-10 minutes until the edges are browned and the topping is cooked. Slice while hot and serve.
