- Add 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, salt and yeast into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/4 cup oil and the warm water.
- Using a kitchen mixer (preferably with a dough hook), mix together on medium speed for 3 minutes, scraping sides of the bowl down occasionally. While mixing, add in enough remaining flour until dough is soft and leaves side the of bowl.
- Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in warm place 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees and lightly grease 2 cookie sheets and set aside.

- Prick centers and 1 inch in from edge thoroughly with a fork. Brush each base with the oil and then with the tomato paste. Sprinkle over a little salt and bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, prepare your toppings. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to high heat. Add the bell pepper, onion, and eggplant and cook until softened. If you wish you could also chargrill your vegetables for a more intense flavor.
