Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 25-30 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 15 minutes Servings: 4 ### Ingredients: For the dough: - 500 g flour - 1 packet (7 g) dry yeast - 1 teaspoon salt - 250 ml lukewarm milk - 1 teaspoon sugar - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Water (approximately 100 ml, as needed) For the filling: - 200 g chicken ham - 150 g Banat salami - 100 g black and green olives - 200 g grated cheese - Mushroom tomato sauce (prepared below) For the mushroom tomato sauce: - 500 g fresh mushrooms (champignon or pleurotus) - 1 large onion - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 bell pepper (optional) - 300 ml tomato juice - Oregano, thyme, basil (to taste) - Salt and pepper ### Preparation: #### Step 1: Preparing the dough Start by mixing the flour with the yeast and salt in a large bowl. This combination will ensure even fermentation of the dough. Then, dissolve the sugar in the lukewarm milk and add it to the bowl. Incorporate the olive oil and, if necessary, a little water to achieve a soft and elastic dough. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, then cover it with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour. #### Step 2: Preparing the mushroom tomato sauce While the dough is rising, you can prepare the sauce. Chop the onion finely and sauté it in a pan with olive oil until it becomes translucent. Add the sliced mushrooms and bell pepper (if you choose to use it) and continue to sauté until softened. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and basil, then add the tomato juice. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. #### Step 3: Assembling the pizza After the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease a pizza tray with a little olive oil and spread the dough into an even layer, covering the entire tray. Spread the mushroom tomato sauce over the pizza base, followed by the grated cheese. Add the ham, salami, and sliced olives. You can sprinkle a little more cheese on top for extra flavor. #### Step 4: Baking the pizza Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden and crispy. ### Serving suggestions Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it with a fresh salad or with a yogurt sauce flavored with garlic and dill for a delicious contrast. ### Possible variations For a vegetarian option, you can replace the ham and salami with vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or olives. You can also experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella or feta, to create a pizza with a different flavor. This Criss pizza recipe with mushrooms and olives is an excellent choice for any occasion. Enjoy every bite and savor the delicious flavors created by you!
