Greek-style pizza

on

I have made many pizzas in my life. With various recipes. And in many variations. But, of all, the best pizza is this one. That's why I give you the recipe!

Delicious and simple, able to satisfy young and old, who like their pizza to have a fluffy and crispy dough.

I also give you the recipe for the delicious homemade pizza sauce that I make and the adults like it the most.

If you are in a hurry and you want to finish faster or if your pizza will be eaten by children, then I have another secret for you: Do not make the effort to make the sauce! Instead, spread on the dough some ketchup and sprinkle it with a little oregano.

You will greatly reduce the time you are in the kitchen and the children like it much more!
