Method

1. Mix all ingredients except the water, then add the water gradually and knead.
2. When the dough becomes soft, smooth, and no longer sticks to your hand, stop kneading. Cover it and let it rest and rise for one hour in a warm place.
3. After one hour, take the amount of dough needed for your baking tray, grease the tray with oil, then spread the dough evenly.
4. Spread the sauce or ketchup first, then the remaining vegetables, and finally distribute the cheese on top.
5. Place the tray in the preheated oven for 15 minutes and keep an eye on the dough. Allow it to cook until the bottom starts to brown.
   Timers: 15 min
6. Brown the cheese on top slightly, then serve the pizza immediately.
