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

Ingredients

• 55 g Strong bread flour
• 0.6 g Dried yeast
• 0.8 g Salt
• 36 g Lukewarm water
• 6 g Olive oil
• 40 g Italian sausage
• 30 g Mushrooms, sliced
• 65 g Canned crushed tomatoes
• 1.5 g Garlic, crushed
• 0.3 g Dried oregano
• 40 g Low-moisture mozzarella, sliced or grated
• 4 g Pecorino Romano, finely grated

Method

1. Makes one 30 cm pie, cut into 4 servings; the amounts are for one serving, so multiply every ingredient by 4. Mix the flour, yeast and salt, add the water and a little of the olive oil, and knead for 8-10 minutes into a smooth, slightly tacky dough. Cover and leave in a warm place for 1½-2 hours until doubled.
2. Put a pizza stone or heavy upturned baking tray on the lowest shelf and heat the oven as hot as it goes, about 260 °C (500 °F), for at least 45 minutes.
3. Squeeze the sausage out of its skin and fry it in a dry pan over a medium heat for 5 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until just cooked through; lift it out, then fry the mushrooms in the fat left in the pan for 4 minutes until their liquid has gone.
4. Stir the garlic and oregano into the crushed tomatoes; in a Trenton pie the tomatoes go on uncooked.
5. On a floured pizza peel or upturned tray, stretch the dough into a thin 30 cm round with a slight rim. Lay the mozzarella over the dough first, then spoon the tomatoes over the cheese in dollops, leaving some cheese showing, and scatter over the sausage and mushrooms.
6. Drizzle with the rest of the olive oil, dust with the Pecorino and slide the pie onto the hot stone. Bake for 10-14 minutes until the base is crisp and spotted dark underneath and the cheese bubbles up through the tomatoes. Rest for 2 minutes, then cut into quarters.
