Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 1 hour
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients

For the pizza dough:
- 400 g flour
- 1 packet of dry yeast (Dr. Oetker)
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 200 ml lukewarm milk
- 1 pinch of salt

For the topping:
- 200 g kaiser
- 200 g salami
- 150 g smoked sausage
- 200 g mushrooms (fresh or canned)
- 2 tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 4 eggs
- 200 ml sour cream
- 200 g sheep cheese (or cheddar cheese, depending on preference)

Preparation instructions

1. Preparing the dough
Start by making the pizza dough. In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt and dry yeast. Mix the dry ingredients to combine them evenly.
In another container, heat the milk (making sure it’s not too hot) and add the olive oil. Pour the milk mixture over the dry ingredients and knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy and delicious crust.

2. Preparing the toppings
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the toppings. Slice the sausages thinly, cut the kaiser and salami into small cubes, and slice the mushrooms. Cut the onion into thin rings and the bell pepper and tomatoes into slices.
Once you have prepared all the ingredients, beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons of oil and a little salt in a small bowl. This mixture will add a moist and delicious texture to your pizza.

3. Assembling the pizza
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the risen dough into a rectangular or round shape, depending on the tray you are using. Place the dough in the lined baking tray and prick it all over with a fork to prevent air bubbles from forming during baking.
Generously spread sour cream over the crust, then add the sliced onion, followed by the kaiser, salami, mushrooms, sausages, tomato, and bell pepper slices. Finally, pour the beaten eggs evenly over all the ingredients.
Grate cheese on top to create a golden and appetizing crust.

4. Baking the pizza
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake the pizza for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted and golden.

5. Serving
Once the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut it into generous slices and serve warm. You can add ketchup or sweet pepper sauce on top if you like.

Practical tips
- Use quality ingredients, as they make a difference in the final taste of the pizza.
- If you prefer a spicy pizza, you can add some slices of hot pepper or spices like chili.
- Instead of sheep cheese, you can opt for mozzarella or vegan cheese, depending on your tastes.
- Try adding vegetables like olives or spinach to diversify the toppings.

Possible variations
This recipe is extremely versatile. You can replace the sausages with chicken or turkey, and the kaiser with crispy bacon. You can also experiment with different types of cheese or add olives and dill for a Mediterranean flavor.
