Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and dry yeast. Add the warm water and olive oil, and knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
2
While the dough is rising, prepare the topping. Heat some oil in a skillet, then sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic. Add the ground meat (beef or lamb) and cook until browned.
3
Add the tomato sauce, chopped bell pepper, and ras el hanout spice blend to the meat. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4
Roll out the risen dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5
Spread a layer of tomato sauce over the dough, then evenly distribute the spiced meat mixture.
6
Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese, then bake in a preheated oven at 430°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
7
Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy!
