Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 250 grams
• Warm water - 150 ml
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Bell pepper (diced) - 100 grams
• Zucchini (grated) - 100 grams
• Red onion (finely chopped) - 50 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Tomato (diced) - 100 grams
• Chili flakes - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix warm water and yeast, let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt, then add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
4. While the dough is rising, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the red onion and garlic, sautéing until soft.
5. Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and tomato to the pan, stirring in chili flakes, black pepper, and parsley. Cook for 5-7 minutes until vegetables are tender. Set aside.
6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F).
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion into an oval shape, about 1 cm thick.
8. Place the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, and spoon the vegetable mixture onto the center, leaving a border around the edges.
9. Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a boat shape, pinching the ends to seal.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
11. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
