TOPPINGS
1. SAUSAGE, ONION & GRAPE
Adapted from Jaimie Oliver; fascinating but fantastic combo of ingredients for a sensational pizza
Ingred:
2/3 recipe Stupendous Pizza Dough (the other third will be used for mushroom pizza - below - cover it with clean tea towel)
4 cooked vegetarian sausages (Carnivores: substitute Wild Boar or Toulouse)
1 good-sized med red onion, finely sliced (yellow onions will do)
small sprig fresh rosemary or pinch of dried
2 tbsp olive oil
handful fresh or frozen grapes, halved if big
125gm mozzarella
Method:
- Preheat oven in 180C350F oven; take pizza dough out of the fridge
- Bake sausages 20 mins till golden; remove
- Turn up oven to to 260C, 550F. Place a large baking tray or pizza stone in the lower third of the oven at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Slice sausages in generous bite-sized coins; set aside
- Once dough is at room temperature, turn out on lightly oiled surface; cover with kitchen towel; rest 10 mins
- Either place a large sheet of baking parchment onto a dry surface OR use a low-sided pan from which you can easily slide the pizza onto the hot oven tray/pizza stone.
- Place dough on parchment/pan. Roughly dust with flour, roll out 1/2inch/1cm thick into a rough oval about 7x12 inches, building up the edges a little .
- Coo k onions in oil over medium heat until soft and melting - abut 20 mins
- Spoon grapes into pan then add sausages, stirring well
- Spread 2-3 tablespoons Tomato Base over pizza base, leaving edges free
- Spread sausage/onion/grape mix over pizza base; tear over mozzarella
- THE FOLLOWING STEP MUST BE DONE BY A COMPETENT ADULT: Carefully remove hot pizza pan/tray from oven. (1) If using the parchment paper method, very carefully lift the sides of the paper supporting the pizza and holding a hand underneath, center it on the hot pizza stone/tray. OR (2) slide it and pizza from your prep tray onto the hot pizza stone/tray
- Return pizza stone/tray to the bottom third of the oven. Turn down heat to 240C
- Cook 10 to 12 mins; cheese should be melted & the filling hot
Tips: 67 used Linda McCartney's Rosemary Sausages and didn't bother adding rosemary
2. MUSHROOM
Fabulously delicious and so frugal
