The dough is the perfect base for a delicious recipe, and preparing it can be a true pleasure. Start by gathering your necessary ingredients, ensuring you have everything at hand. If you are using a bread machine, the order in which you add the ingredients is essential for achieving perfect dough. Begin by placing the melted but cooled butter in the bowl of the machine. Then, add the lukewarm water and milk, in which you have dissolved the salt and sugar. These liquids will activate the yeast and help the dough rise beautifully.
In the next step, sifting the flour is important as it helps remove any impurities and aerates the flour, contributing to a fluffier texture. Add the flour to the bowl, followed by the beaten egg and finally, the dry yeast. If you prefer fresh yeast, use it, but remember to soften it with sugar and dissolve it in a little lukewarm milk before incorporating it into the mixture. Set the program for dough preparation on the bread machine and patiently wait for the magic to happen.
If you are not using a bread machine, don’t worry! Rub the yeast with sugar, then dissolve it in warm milk. Add a few tablespoons of flour and let the mixture rise under a clean towel. Once the mixture has puffed up, add it to the rest of the ingredients and knead an elastic and non-sticky dough. Once you have achieved the right consistency, place the dough in a bowl greased with oil, cover it well, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume.
After the dough has risen, transfer it to a work surface and roll it out into a thin rectangular sheet. Spread the entire surface with a mixture of tomato sauce and pepper paste, then sprinkle a layer of pepper and your favorite spices. Cut the dough into squares of about 10 x 10 cm. On each square, place a slice of salami and sprinkle grated cheese on top, which will melt deliciously during baking. Stack the squares on top of each other to form a small tower, and transfer it to a loaf pan lined with parchment paper.
Let this small tower rise again covered for 25-30 minutes, until it completely fills the pan. After it has risen, place it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and, using a brush, coat the dough with a topping of melted butter mixed with garlic, kept on low heat to develop its flavors. Return to the oven for another 15-20 minutes or until the dough turns golden and delicious. Serve it warm, cut into slices, but it is just as tasty cold. This recipe is a perfect choice for any occasion and will surely impress anyone who tastes it!
