Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, sift the all-purpose flour, then add the dry yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix to combine.
2
Pour in the lukewarm water and olive oil, then start kneading. Work the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour.
3
Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces. Thinly slice the black olives.
4
Divide the risen dough into two equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a circle.
5
Spread tomato sauce over half of one circle, then arrange the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and sliced olives on top. Sprinkle with a mixture of grated mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
6
Sprinkle with oregano, basil, and a pinch of black pepper.
7
Fold the other half of the dough over the filling, then press the edges to seal, ensuring the filling doesn't escape.
8
Brush the top with beaten egg, and use a fork to prick a few holes to allow steam to escape during baking.
9
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
