World Champion Pizza

Make a yeast dough from the first five ingredients, adding more water or flour if necessary to prevent stickiness. Let it rise for at least 1 hour. Roll out thinly, ideally between two sheets of baking paper. Place on a baking sheet with a piece of baking paper, form a small edge, and let it rest briefly. Prick the dough a few times with a fork. Brush with tomato paste, spread with the passata, season with herbs, and spread the cheese on top. I deliberately don’t use too much cheese so the pattern is clearly visible later. Chop the peppers (or tomatoes). If you’re using eggplant instead of olives, chop them up as well. Now top the pizza with three stripes – black, red, and yellow. Arrange the peppers or eggplant so the colored stripes are on top. Bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes. Very tasty at all national team games, it doesn’t have to be just for football, the Olympics work too… I made the pizza when friends came over to watch the World Cup, it was a big hit and it helped too!
