1
Preparation: For the dough mix flour, yeast, 1/4 teaspoon salt and herbs in a mixing bowl. Add 5 tablespoons of oil and 125 ml lukewarm water and knead everything with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Then knead again with your hands to a smooth dough. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes. In the meantime peel and finely dice the onion.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small pot, fry the onion in it until transparent and deglaze with vinegar and orange juice. Stir in sugar, strained tomatoes and ketchup and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Let it thicken for about 5 minutes and season again with salt, cayenne pepper and possibly some vinegar. Let it cool down a little bit. Wash the cherry tomatoes, dab dry and cut in half. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and drain the bacon in it in portions until golden brown. Briefly knead the yeast dough again, roll out into a circle (28 cm Ø) on a floured work surface and place in a greased pizza mould. Place half of the bacon slices on the pizza base and pour the barbecue sauce over them. Spread tomatoes and salami on top and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ gas: level 3) for 20-25 minutes. 5 minutes before the end of the baking time, coarsely crumble the remaining bacon slices and sprinkle over the pizza.
