2• In a large bowl add the flour, salt and the mixture. Gently mix with hands or electric dough mixer and add warm water as neede until a soft, medium texture is achieved.

half green pepper
4 large mushrooms
half onion
mozzarella cheese 400 grams
 
Description:

2• Spread tomato sauce. Don't overdo it, it will become soggy.
5• It is advisable to cook fish in a pan with a little oil. Not more than five minutes. Add white wine, just a sprinkle for taste. Strain the fish to remove all liquid.
6•Spread the fish out generously.
6•Add the cheese, but not to much. The fish won't cook if you cover it with to much cheese. You can put goat cheese if you wish.
