Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Slice the mushrooms, cut the mozzarella into cubes, and the olives into rings. Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes (reserve 2 tablespoons), and chop the tomatoes.
Step 2
Sift 225 g of flour (the remaining will be used for dusting the table when rolling out the dough), add the chopped herbs, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Make a well in the center and pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 4 tablespoons of water. Knead into a soft dough (the dough should not stick to your hands).
Step 3
Place the dough on a floured surface and knead. Roll out into a round shape the size of the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan, place the dough in it, and fry on low heat on one side until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate greased with olive oil. Heat a little more olive oil in the pan and place the dough to fry on the other side.
Step 5
While the dough is cooking, spread the surface with tomato paste, then top with pieces of mozzarella, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, capers, and chopped basil leaves. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with the reserved oil from the tomatoes.
Step 6
Once the dough is ready, place the pan under a preheated broiler for 3 minutes to melt the cheese.
