  • Difficulty: Hard
  • Contains: beef, dairy, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 45 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 25 g Water
  • 5 g Olive oil
  • 0.5 g Yeast, active dry
  • 0.5 g Salt
  • 60 g Mozzarella, low-moisture

Method

  1. Mix the bread flour, yeast, salt, olive oil and water into a soft dough; knead until smooth, then let rise in a covered bowl until doubled, about 1 hour.
  2. Press the dough into a well-oiled deep pan, pushing it up the sides to form a bowl shape.
  3. Scatter the mozzarella over the base first, right to the edges.
  4. Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it into pieces, about 5 minutes, then scatter it over the cheese.
  5. Spoon the crushed tomatoes over the top and sprinkle with the oregano, garlic and parmesan.
  6. Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 25-30 minutes until the crust is deep golden and the sauce bubbles.
  7. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Makes 1 slice; multiply the ingredients by 8 for a whole deep-dish pizza.
