Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 1/2 sachet instant yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 3 sausages (herby, meaty ones)
- 3 capsicums, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp chilli flakes
- salt and pepper
- 1/2 cup pitted black olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup marinated artichokes, drained and coarsely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups grated pizza cheese or mozzarella
- handful fresh basil leaves, shredded
Method
- 1Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add ½ tablespoon of oil, then mix in the warm water to form a dough. Knead on a floured board until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover and microwave on low for 1 minute. Rest dough for 10 minutes, then repeat or leave dough in a warm place until doubled in size – about 40 minutes.
- 2Split skins of sausages with serrated knife and tip filling into a frying pan. Brown sausage meat, crumbling it with a masher as it cooks. Once browned, set aside. Thinly slice capsicums, and combine remaining oil, garlic, herbs and chilli flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
- 3Preheat oven to 220°C. On a lightly floured bench, roll out dough to a circle about 33cm in diameter and transfer to a greased baking sheet. Pour over olive oil mixture and spread with the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper.
- 4Scatter on olives, artichokes and 1 cup of cheese. Top with crumbled sausage, capsicums and remaining ½ cup cheese.
- 5Bake 10-15 minutes until base is crisp and cooked. Top with basil if desired.
