Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 150 g, thinly sliced sucuk (Turkish spicy sausage)
• 1 medium, roasted and sliced red bell pepper
• 1 medium, roasted and sliced yellow bell pepper
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar. Sprinkle 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast over 1 cup warm water and let it sit 5 minutes until foamy, then add 2 tbsp olive oil and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir and knead by hand or mixer for 8-10 minutes until a smooth elastic dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled in size.
2. Step 2: Meanwhile, roast 1 medium red bell pepper and 1 medium yellow bell pepper under a broiler or over an open flame until skin is blackened, then place in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off skins, remove seeds, and slice into thin strips.
3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). On a floured surface, roll the dough into an oval shape about 12 inches long and 6 inches wide. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border. Arrange 150 g thinly sliced sucuk and the roasted pepper strips evenly on top. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes and 1 tsp dried oregano over the toppings.
5. Step 5: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling. Remove from oven and let cool 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
