Instructions
Making the Dough
The very first thing to do is making the dough. Put the flour in a big bowl and make a little hollow in the middle. Crumble half of the yeast in, add the sugar and a little of the warm water (about 1/8 cup). Carefully stir the mixture adding a little flour from the side. Do not use all the flour, just a little bit as this is the pre-dough! The yeast will dissolve and it gets a little thicker. The sugar is food for the yeast. You won't taste it later on. Now cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and set aside in a warm place. Let the pre-dough rise for about 45min.
After the pre-dough has risen, add all the other ingredients and the other half of the yeast. Knead it evenly. Now cover the bowl with the towel again and set aside in a warm place for 60min.
Making the Tomato Sauce
While the dough is rising, make the tomato sauce. Mince the onions and the garlic and brown both lightly with olive oil in a small or medium sized pot. Add the canned tomatoes. Let come to a boil once then turn down the heat to low. Add spices. Cook on low for the remainder of the time stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken up after a while which is what we want so it can be spread onto the rolled out pizza dough.
Putting the Pizza Together
Take the risen dough, knead it lightly and shape into a flat ball. Now roll it out. You can make a round pizza or a square one, the size of your baking tray. I usually cover the tray with baking paper and roll the dough out that, saving myself the transferrence. Do what works best for you.
Now prepare the toppings. Wash the veggies and cut everything into pieces: Chicken breast, salami, tomatoes, onions
Cut the feta into thick slices and half the slices longways. Now you have feta sticks, sort of. Line the edge of the pizza with the feta sticks and fold the dough over.
Now spread the tomato sauce evenly and add the toppings. Leftover feta gets crumbled on top of it.
Finally put the cheese over everything and bake at 430°F for 20min. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
