A traditional Argentine pizza with a thin crust and classic toppings, made with a fast-rise dough and homemade tomato sauce.

Method

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
In a saucepan, sauté onion and garlic in olive oil until softened. Add crushed tomatoes and simmer for 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the dough into a circle and place on a baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, then add mozzarella, bell peppers, red onions, olives, and ham.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
