Introduction

A rich and spicy pizza for the more adventurous. The goats cheese adds a real depth of flavour and acidity to the spicy sausage.

Method

dough ingredients

FOR THE DOUGH:

  1. Sift flour into an electric mixing bowl.
  2. Add yeast, salt and mix.
  3. Add oil then water and mix using a dough hook for 8 to 10 minutes until you achieve a tight, glossy dough that comes clean away from the sides
  4. Transfer to a clean work surface, knead for a couple of minutes then store in an oiled bowl covered with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
  5. The following day remove from the fridge and place on a lightly floured surface, knock the dough back then divide into four equal pieces (or 8 if your making a snack size base) and roll into balls by flattening the dough then pulling back into itself to create a smooth ball.
  6. Using a rolling pin roll out the dough into even rounds ready for stage 1 cooking.
  7. Heat a tbsp. olive oil in a non stick frying pan/skillet and fry the rolled dough over a medium high heat, after a few minutes the dough will rise & brown on the base, flip over and cook for another minute or so then cool on a wire rack & repeat
  8. These can be used straight away or chilled, frozen ready to use at a later date.
