Ingredients
2 cups water, lukewarm
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 and 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups (615g) bread flour
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup olive oil
The toppings:
1-2 tomatoes sliced into wedges
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried crushed oregano
Instructions
In the bowl of a tabletop mixer that has been fitted with the dough hook attachment, add the water, yeast, sugar, and the 1/4 cup of flour. Whisk it together and let it sit for 8-10 minutes to proof. The yeast is ready when it forms a cloud at the top of the mixture.

In a large mixing bowl, add the bread flour and salt and mix them together.

Once the yeast is ready, add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl along with the quarter cup of olive oil and knead on low speed for 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough into an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set it aside in the warmest part of your home to rise until doubled in volume. About 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400 F, 200 C.

Grease a 12-inch (30 cm) round pan or a 9 by 13-inch baking tray with olive oil.

Spread the dough onto the prepared pan and set aside while you prepare the topping.

Add the tomato and onion to a bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss together and place the veggies on top of the dough.

Bake on the center rack for 35-40 minutes.

Allow the bread to cool for 5-10 minutes and serve. Kali Orexi!
