Method
 

Dough
  1. In your mixing bowl, add the milk and instant yeast and mix them well together
  2. Let it rest for about 10 mins
  3. Add your water, followed by flour and salt (in that exact order)
  4. Using a Danish whisk or an electric mixer with dough hook, let everything come together to form the dough (5 mins on the electric mixer on low speed, then 5 minutes on high speed)
  5. Once the dough is well formed, remove it from the mixer and knead it for about 10 mins on your working surface (do not add flour)
  6. Now that the dough has been well kneaded, place it back in the mixing bowl and cover it with a cling film
  7. Place it in a warm environment, ideally an oven that has a proofing option at 32 degrees Celsius for an hour and a half to two hours (until the dough rises well)
Sauce
  1. In the meantime, peel your tomatoes and place them in the blender
  2. Turn the blender on until you obtain tomato juice
  3. Pour the obtained juice in your small pot and place it on medium heat
  4. Using a wooden spoon, frequently stir while adding the spices in the following order: sugar, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, thyme and herbs
  5. Keep your tomato juice on low heat until it starts darkening and thickening
  6. Once you have obtained the desired texture (clearly looking like a pizza sauce), place it in the strainer to drain it from its water
  7. Place the obtained water free paste in the small bowl and allow it to cool
Toppings and cooking
  1. Preheat your oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) with convection on
  2. Now that your pizza dough has risen, gently flour your work surface and place it on it
  3. Using your hands, gently press it to release all the formed gases
  4. With your pastry roll, start rolling your dough to give it a circular shape, that is as close to the oven plate's dimensions as possible
  5. In your oven plate, gently pour a bit of cooking oil and using a tissue, spread the oil all over the plate, without forgetting the inner sides
  6. Place the dough in the oven plate and gently stretch it to the sides so that it covers all the surface
  7. Using a fork, pick your dough all over the surface so that pizza doesn't rise
  8. Pour your tomato paste and spread it all over the pizza
  9. Add your ham slices so they cover the whole surface as well
  10. If you chose to add sliced mushrooms, spread them all over the surface followed by the olives
  11. Finally, mix the cheese together in a separate bowl and start spreading them all over the surface
  12. Place your pizza in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, making sure that the bottom has changed color and is well cooked, and the cheese has completely melted
  13. Place it out of the oven, cut it in slices and serve!
