Spanish pizza
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. In Spain there are just as many pizzerias as in other countries. After all, Spaniards make not only Italian pizza but their own too. It is also called Catalan because Catalonia is where it is most widespread. And the main difference from Italian pizza is that there’s no cheese. Otherwise there are many varieties depending on the toppings: vegetables, tuna, anchovies, and even cherry. The simplest and most classic option is tomato and onion pizza. I suggest making it with ordinary zucchini added—it will taste great. Baking is ready. Serve it at the table.
