Authentic pizza
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. It's absolutely delicious and a feast for the eyes, not pizza at all. I can't put into words how good it is. If you're a dedicated meat lover, I think you could add pieces of high-quality ham or a bit of bacon to the filling. The pastry is ready. Serve it at the table.
