Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Warm water - 100 ml
• Olive oil - 30 ml
• Yeast - 5 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Red bell pepper - 50 grams, chopped
• Zucchini - 50 grams, sliced
• Eggplant - 50 grams, diced
• Onion - 30 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the 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 and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
5. While the dough is rising, heat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
6. Add the red bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Season with paprika, black pepper, and salt. Remove from heat.
7. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to a rectangular shape (about 1 cm thick).
9. Transfer the dough to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the top.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.
