Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, warm water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and salt. Mix until the dough begins to come together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface. Transfer the flattened dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Arrange the sliced bell peppers, tomato, and onion artistically on top of the dough. Sprinkle generously with paprika for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Allow the Coca de Trampo to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares or wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips
- For a spicier version, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes on top.
- You can also top the Coca de Trampo with other seasonal vegetables like zucchini or eggplant for added variety.
- Serve with a refreshing yogurt sauce or a simple drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
