Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm water
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g) active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5 g) salt
  • 2 medium ripe tomatoes (about 300 g), finely chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper (about 150 g), finely chopped
  • 1 small onion (about 100 g), finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon (1 g) black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking tray or pizza stone inside to heat.
  2. In a bowl, mix chopped tomatoes, red bell pepper, onion, parsley, tomato paste, 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, cumin, and black pepper until evenly combined.
  3. In another bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, warm water, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Knead for about 8 minutes until smooth. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Divide dough into 2 portions. Roll each portion very thin into a round shape.
  5. Spread a thin layer of the vegetable mixture evenly over each rolled dough.
  6. Transfer to the hot tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are golden and slightly crisp.
  7. Remove from oven, cool slightly, slice or fold, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Drain excess liquid from the vegetable mixture to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Roll the dough as thin as possible for authentic texture.
  • Reheat leftovers in a hot oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness.
