Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 150 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Active dry yeast - 5 grams
• Sugar - 15 grams
• Salt - 2 grams
• Olive oil - 15 ml
• Apple (thinly sliced) - 1 medium (about 150 grams)
• Brown sugar - 30 grams
• Ground cinnamon - 1 teaspoon
• Butter - 20 grams
• Powdered sugar - for dusting (optional)

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough is rising, prepare the apple topping by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced apples, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it into a round shape, about 25 cm in diameter, on a floured surface.
8. Transfer the rolled dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9. Spread the caramelized apples evenly over the surface of the dough.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving.
