Total preparation time: 1 hour and 5 minutes
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Baking time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Necessary ingredients
For the dough:
- 1 egg
- 150 ml warm milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 20 g fresh yeast
- A pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or sunflower oil
- 450 g flour (you can use type 00 flour for a finer dough)
For the topping:
- 100 g kaiser (or bacon, if you prefer)
- 100 g smoked chicken breast
- 3 semi-smoked sausages (or fresh sausages, depending on preferences)
- 1 fresh tomato, sliced thinly
- 5-6 pitted olives, sliced
- 100 g cheese (ideally, the cheese should be hard for even melting)
- Spices: pepper, basil, oregano
- Univer ketchup (for an authentic taste)
Preparation steps
1. Preparing the starter:
In a small bowl, rub the yeast with the sugar until it becomes liquid. Then, add the warm milk in which you have dissolved the salt. Add a handful of flour and mix until homogeneous. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise for 10 minutes in a warm place.
2. Preparing the dough:
After the starter has risen, in another bowl, beat the egg with the oil. Add the yeast mixture and gradually incorporate the remaining flour. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic and homogeneous (about 5-7 minutes). Don’t hesitate to add more flour if you find the dough too sticky. Let it rise in a bowl greased with a little oil, covered, for 15-20 minutes or until it doubles in volume.
3. Preparing the topping:
While the dough is rising, prepare the ingredients for the topping. Slice the kaiser, smoked chicken breast, and sausages into thin slices. You can use a grater to cut the cheese into smaller pieces that will melt evenly.
4. Forming the pizza:
After the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll it out with a rolling pin into a round shape of about 30 cm in diameter. Carefully place it in a pizza pan or on a baking stone. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
5. Assembling the pizza:
Prick the dough in several places with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Spread ketchup on it and sprinkle your favorite spices (pepper, basil, and oregano). Arrange the slices of sausage around the edge of the dough, gently rolling the edges over them to form a crown. Cut the dough in several places to allow steam to escape.
6. Adding the topping:
Place the remaining ingredients in the center of the pizza, alternating slices of tomato, kaiser, chicken breast, and olives. Sprinkle the cheese on top.
7. Baking:
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted and golden.
Useful tips
- For a more attractive appearance: Before baking, you can brush the edges of the dough with a beaten egg to achieve a shinier and more golden crust.
- Variations: You can experiment with different types of sausages or cold cuts based on your preferences. Also, add vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or caramelized onions for an extra hint of flavor.
- Serving: Sausage crown pizza pairs perfectly with a fresh green salad or a yogurt and garlic sauce. A cold beer can perfectly complement this meal.
Nutritional benefits
