Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, mix warm water, warm milk, sugar, and dry yeast. Stir well and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is activated and frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and knead until a smooth dough forms.
Lightly grease the dough with olive oil, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green pepper, red pepper, yellow pepper, and onion. Sauté until the vegetables are soft.
Add the chopped tomato, chives, parsley, salt, black pepper, thyme, smoked paprika, and cumin. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Shape the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Divide the risen dough into 9 equal pieces and form each piece into a ball.
Roll out each dough ball into a small circle or oval shape.
Assemble the Pizzas:
Place the rolled-out dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread a thin layer of tomato paste or ketchup over each piece of dough.
Evenly distribute the vegetable filling over the dough pieces.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, sprinkle the grated cheese over the pizzas.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
