Cooking tips

You can replace tomato paste with ketchup, or make a more interesting sauce by mixing tomato paste, basil, sugar, salt, and olive oil in a blender.

Add pepperoni to taste. Keep in mind that sausage is very fatty, and if you add too much or overdo the baking time, a lot of fat will leak out.

The dough should not be sticky, but if it sticks, do not grease it with butter, but sprinkle it with flour.

To create a nice crust on the edge, you can grease it with a mixture of egg yolk and water or oil.
