Pizza is a thin flatbread covered with tomato sauce and sprinkled with grated cheese. All other components of it change depending on the recipe, the preferences of the cook or the products that are at hand. This is one of the most popular dishes in the world. Famous flatbreads are known everywhere: pizza with salami, Pepperoni, Margherita, Four Seasons, etc.
Italians consider pizza to be their national dish, many cities in Italy have their own secrets of making a hearty flatbread. Each of them is proud of their unique recipe.
Pizza (against the wishes of the Italians) first appeared in ancient Greece, where baked flatbreads were doused with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs. This delicious tradition was adopted by the ancient Romans. Cakes with pieces of meat, olives, cheese, herbs were part of the mandatory diet of Roman legionnaires.
In the 1st century BC, Mark Apicius (a Roman) described in his book the first recipes for ancient pizza: pieces of chicken, mint, nuts, garlic, cheese were placed on the dough in various combinations and proportions, all this was poured with olive oil.
In 1522, tomatoes appeared in Italy, and since then they have been cooking here - a standard for cuisines around the world.
In the 17th century, special people appeared in Italy who prepared pizza for the peasants. Legend has it that in 1772 King Ferdinand I tasted pizza incognito in Naples and wanted to introduce this dish into the royal menu. The attempt was unsuccessful: his wife considered the dish for commoners unsuitable for royalty.
The next king - Ferdinand II - was more inventive: on his orders, pizza was secretly baked and served on the royal table on the day of the celebration of the thirtieth birthday of Queen Margaret of Savoy. Pizza recipe for royalty has since been called "Margherita".
In the 19th century, pizza began to be baked in America, where it gained wide popularity due to the spread of the delivery service and the production of convenience foods.
In modern Italy, more than two thousand ways of making pizza are used.
One of them is pizza with salami, the recipe for which is spread all over the world.

The Universal Pizza is a pizza with sausage and cheese. You can take any smoked sausage, although salami is better. But what is salami, only a few people probably know. Salami (salame) from Italian, consonant with salsiccia - sausage. Simply put, this is an Italian dry-cured sausage with spices.

Pizza with salami and mozzarella is similar to the classic Italian Margherita pizza, but, among other things, sausage and some mushrooms are added to it. If you want to cook a classic Italian Margherita pizza with tomatoes and mozzarella, see the recipe. The taste of Italian Salami pizza differs from Margherita due to additional components. This dish is for those who find pizza without meat boring. Salami gives the pizza a smoky sausage flavor and makes the taste more intense. And fresh champignons on pizza are almost always the way (except, perhaps, fruit cooking options). They favorably emphasize and complement the taste of the main ingredient. What else is good about this pizza is that the filling for it practically does not need to be prepared (boil, fry, marinate). It is enough to cut everything into thin slices and put on the dough cake smeared with sauce.
The history of pizza goes back to the early days of Italy. Previously, it was prepared only in rich houses. This was done not by ordinary chefs, but by specially trained and trained in the craft - pizzaiolo. No one wanted to share the secrets of making pizza, and even more so to give their knowledge and experience, because recipes were passed down from generation to generation only through the male line. But we live here and now in the age of information and technology. And in order to enjoy delicious pizza, it is not at all necessary to go to Italy. Authentic Italian pizza can be easily prepared at home.
Cooking time - 30 minutes, not including kneading the dough. Quantity - 3 large pizzas.
Ingredients:

For filling:
1. As well as when preparing Margherita pizza according to the classic recipe, let's start by kneading the dough. To do this, mix the yeast, water and sugar and leave everything in a warm place for 20-30 minutes. A beautiful yeast cap should rise on the dough.
2. Add 3 cups of flour to the risen dough.
3. Knead the dough with a spoon until it becomes thick and uniform. The dough will begin to lag a little behind the walls of the dish and gather on the spoon.
4. Add some vegetable oil. Olive oil is best, but refined sunflower oil can also be added.
5. Now knead the dough with your hands. Soon it will begin to lag behind the walls of the bowl. When the dough becomes soft and plastic, roll it into a ball. Cover the bowl with cling film or a damp towel and leave in a warm place for 1 hour to let the dough rise.
6. The Italian salami pizza recipe calls for a special tomato sauce. It is prepared from ripe fleshy tomatoes, or from tomatoes in their own juice with the addition of spices, olive oil and garlic. According to this recipe, sauce is prepared in many pizzerias. Let's prepare it and we, until the dough rises. Take canned tomatoes in their own juice and remove the skin from them. Place in a saucepan and mash the flesh with a potato crusher.
7. Add spices, salt, sugar, garlic and oil to the tomato puree.
8. Put the sauce on the stove and boil over low heat. Beat it with a blender until everything turns into a homogeneous thick mass. Set aside and let the sauce cool. If desired, you can rub the tomato mass through a sieve.
9. Cut the mushrooms into thin plates. For pizza, it is better to choose large champignons, they are more fragrant and easier to cut.
10. Cut the salami sausage into half rings.
11. Cut the mozzarella into slices.
12. By this time, the dough should already rise well.
13. Put it on the table. Separate the right amount from the total mass and knead this piece again.
14. Roll out the dough a little in a circle on a floured work surface.
15. Carefully transfer the dough onto a floured baking sheet using a rolling pin. Roll out a little more on a baking sheet using a small rolling pin. The circle should be nice and even.
16. Thickly grease the dough with cooked and cooled sauce.
17. Put the chopped "salami" on the sauce.
18. We put the mushrooms.
19. With basil we fill empty places where the sausage did not get. We use only leaves, we do not need stems. Fill in the voids with chopped tomatoes.
20. Distribute mozzarella over pizza. The pieces should cover the entire area of the dough.
21. Bake salami pizza with mushrooms and tomatoes at maximum temperature until golden brown. At a temperature of 200 degrees pizza is ready in 20 minutes, 230 degrees - in 15 minutes.
Incredibly delicious salami pizza with tomatoes and mozzarella is ready! Serve it to the table on a large dish or on a wooden stand and quickly try it while the pizza is hot and the viscous mozzarella spreads over it. You can decorate everything with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your meal!
From the prepared yeast dough, you can make pizza on a thin or thick dough. The difference lies only in the thickness of its rolling.
To prepare the dough, we need flour, salt, water, olive oil and yeast.
We combine warm (but not hot) water with olive oil and send it to the bucket of the bread machine.
Then add flour, salt and yeast. We turn on the yeast dough kneading mode (in my bread machine, the dough is kneaded in 1 hour 50 minutes).
For those who do not have a bread machine, I will write how to cook the dough by hand.
Sift flour into a deep bowl, sprinkle with salt and sprinkle dry yeast on top. Make a hole in the center. Pour warm (not hot) water mixed with olive oil into the recess. Insert the spoon into the recess and begin to drive the spoon in a circle, combining flour with water. Gradually, the flour from the edges will completely connect with the water. You will end up with a sloppy lump of dough. Lightly knead it in a bowl, then put it on the table and begin to knead vigorously. Try to add very little flour. The dough should be very soft and tender. My grandmother said that yeast dough should be like an earlobe - tender and soft. Lubricate the container in which the dough will ferment with vegetable oil, transfer the dough into it. It should be larger in size, given that the dough will increase by 2 or 2.5 times. Cover with cling film on top. Put in a warm place. I put in a locker. After about an hour - an hour and 10 minutes, the dough will double in volume. Put it on the table, punch down (let the air out of it).
It is better to stretch the finished dough with your hands in the form of a baking sheet. The thickness is no more than 0.5 cm. Leave the dough for 15-20 minutes so that it grows a little.
Dilute tomato paste with water (1 to 1). Lubricate the dough with diluted tomato paste.
We rub the cheese on a large grater. Pizza, smeared with tomato paste, sprinkle with half the cheese. Set aside the other half of the cheese.
Between the circles of sausage lay out the plates of mushrooms and slices of pepper.
Place the tomato halves between the mushrooms. Sprinkle with pizza spices and the other half of the cheese. You can sprinkle a little oregano instead of spices.
Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Bake pizza with salami for 15 minutes. Focus on your oven. My friends at 220 degrees baked for 10 minutes.
Cut into pieces and treat family and friends with appetizing, delicious pizza with salami.
Enjoy your meal!
