1

Pour 2 kilos of warm water into a large pot.

2

Add 70 g of dry yeast to the warm water.

3

Add 50 g of salt and 50 g of sugar, mixing well to avoid clumps.

4

Crack in 2 eggs and mix again.

5

Add 3 kilos of pizza flour, mixing while kneading, then add half a kilo more gradually.

6

Add about 200 g of sunflower oil while kneading.

7

Transfer the dough to the counter and knead until smooth and soft like cotton.

8

Divide the dough into 25 pieces, each about 400 g, and roll them into balls.

9

Place the dough balls on a floured tray, spaced apart, and cover with another tray to prevent drying.

10

Prepare the pizza sauce by mixing 10 tablespoons of yogurt, 4 tablespoons of tomato paste, 100 g of sunflower oil, 2 eggs, 1 spoon of oregano, chili flakes, and salt, along with grated tomato.

11

Chop the toppings: 1 kilo of cheese, chicken salami into triangles, and thinly sliced sukok and mushrooms, and mix with chopped peppers, black and green olives, and corn in a large pot.

12

Shape the risen dough according to the tray size, pressing and stretching it, then rolling it with a rolling pin.

13

Pour the pizza sauce from a pitcher onto the dough and spread evenly with a spoon or spatula.

14

Sprinkle the toppings evenly over the sauce, ensuring no bare dough remains.

15

Bake the pizzas at 180° C for 8 minutes, turning the trays after 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.

16

Cut the pizzas in half and serve hot, ensuring the bottom is nicely browned.
