Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 300 g of pizza flour, 180 ml of warm water, 5 g of dry yeast, and 8 g of salt. Mix until a smooth, elastic dough forms, about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm area for 60 minutes.
  2. While the dough rises, preheat your oven to 250°C (475°F) and prepare your toppings: slice the bell pepper into thin strips and the spicy sausage into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your work surface. Turn out the dough and gently stretch it with your hands into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter.
  4. Place the stretched dough onto a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone. Spread 100 g of tomato sauce evenly over the base, then sprinkle 100 g of mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the sliced spicy sausage, bell pepper strips, and black olives.
  5. Carefully transfer the assembled pizza into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
