1
Measure out the ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, and water. Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) thickness.
5
Peel the garlic and red onion, then slice them thinly. Cut the bell pepper and zucchini into strips.

Slice the spicy sausage into thin rounds, then sauté in a skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes to release its flavors.
7
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, then sprinkle with oregano and garlic.
8
Arrange the grilled sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion on the pizza. Sprinkle with mozzarella and chili flakes.
9
Place the pizza on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
