Put the flour, the mature starter dough, the yeast and water in a food mixer. Knead thoroughly. Then add salt and oil. The dough is finished when you get a nice elastic ball. Put it in a container to rise before making the individual balls for each pizza. When it has risen, pull the dough gently with your fingertips giving the pizza a round shape, leaving a ridge. Top with tomato, mozzarella, anchovies, capers and salami. Then bake at 300°C for 3-4 minutes.
