Dissolve the yeast and a pinch of sugar in the warm water. Let yeast sit for 10 minutes.
Add a pinch of salt and 1 tablespoon oil, then stir in half of the flour.
Sprinkle the work surface with the remaining flower and knead the dough.
Place the dough in a bowl greased with vegetable oil, and cover with a moist towel. Let sit for 60-90 minutes.

Fry the onion and garlic in hot oil until tender.

Add the tomatoes and a small amount of sugar. Stir and cook on low heat for 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Add salt and spices, remove from heat, and cool.

Roll out the dough into a circle and place in a prepared pan with high sides. Poke the bottom with a fork.

Layer the mozzarella over the dough, and then the salami.

Spread the tomato sauce and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake in an oven preheated to 210-220°C until golden brown (about 20-30 minutes).
