To prepare a delicious topped bread, we start with a basic dough, which will be the key to success. In a large bowl, we combine 500 g of white wheat flour with 10 g of salt and 1 teaspoon of sugar. The sugar will help activate the yeast, adding extra flavor. We add 7 g of dry yeast, mixing everything with a spatula or a wooden spoon to ensure the ingredients are well combined. In another container, we warm 300 ml of lukewarm water and add 30 ml of olive oil. When the water is warm but not hot, we gradually pour it over the flour mixture, starting to knead the dough with our hands or using a bread machine for about 10 minutes. The dough should become elastic and slightly sticky.
After obtaining a well-kneaded dough, we cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise at room temperature for about an hour, until it doubles in volume. When the dough has risen, we divide it into two equal parts. We take each piece and stretch it with oiled hands on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure that the sheet is not too thick to allow for even baking.
After rolling out the dough, we poke it with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking. We cover the tray with a clean towel and let it rest for 10 minutes. In the meantime, we prepare the topping. We sprinkle a pinch of coarse salt over the dough, which will enhance the flavor. Then, we slice a zucchini and a carrot into thin rounds, which we place evenly on the surface of the dough. We add a few olives, either green or black, according to preference, and thin slices of onion, which will add a pleasant aroma.
For an extra touch of flavor, we drizzle everything with 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle dried thyme, which will bring a perfect aromatic note. We preheat the oven to 180-200°C and, when ready, we place the tray inside. We bake the bread for 25-30 minutes until it becomes golden and crispy. We let it cool slightly before slicing. We serve warm slices alongside a glass of cold beer to enjoy a delicious meal. Enjoy your meal!
