In Italian recipes, 225 g of wheat flour.

Pizza sauce

• ½ onion;
• 1 clove of garlic;
• 1 can diced tomatoes;
• ½ tablespoon of honey or syrup;
• 2-3 anchovy fillets;

• ½ teaspoon of salt.

Filling

• 2 fresh peppers;
• 125g of mushrooms;
• 100 g of pepperoni or sausage;
• 100 grams of cheese max.

The cooking process

1. Mix the yeast in the warm water and add the other ingredients to the dough. Knead the dough for 5 minutes, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
2. Peel the onion and garlic and grate coarsely. Mix the tomatoes with the other ingredients of the sauce and adjust the amount of tomato juice that will be produced as a result of the infusion. Let the sauce stand at room temperature for ½ hour.
3. Cut pepper into thin strips and mushrooms. Cut the sausage into thin slices, and grate the cheese coarsely.
4. Put the plates in the oven and turn on the temperature of 250-275 degrees – as soon as your oven can heat up.
5. Place the dough on a floured surface and divide into 4 equal parts. Shape them into balls and roll them out on the bottom of a cookie sheet. Put butter, pizza sauce on the dough, but let the edges remain dry.
6. Spread bell pepper, mushrooms, pepperoni and cheese on top. Move the pizza to the fire on a warm baking sheet with a shovel or a board.

Inside, the dough is baked until ready, and the cheese melts – in just 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
