Little pizza stories

The origins of pizza are lost in the mists of time, but it is known to have become popular around the world as a versatile dish, perfect to satisfy any craving. This recipe uses Olten sausage, an ingredient that adds extra flavor and character. Sausages are often associated with festive meals and spending time with loved ones, and your pizza will have a personal and authentic touch.

Steps for a perfect pizza

1. Prepare the dough:
Start by putting the flour in a large bowl. The flour is the base of the dough and ensures a fluffy and delicious texture. In a separate bowl, mix the yeast with 100 ml of lukewarm water and let it sit for 10 minutes, until frothy. This step is crucial as the activated yeast will make the dough rise nicely.

2. Mixing the ingredients:
Once the yeast has activated, add it over the flour, along with the rest of the water (100 ml) and a tablespoon of olive oil. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until elastic and smooth. A good trick is to add a little oil to your hands to prevent the dough from sticking.

3. Back the dough:
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour and a half, or until doubled in bulk. Meanwhile, you can prepare the topping ingredients.

4. Making the toppings:
While the dough is browning, cut the peppers into thin slices and shred the mushrooms. Grate the cheese and prepare the olives. Choose fresh, quality ingredients; they will make all the difference in the final taste of the pizza.

5. Forming the pizza:
Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts. Don't use a pastry cutter, but roll out the dough with your hands, forming a disk that fits snugly in the baking pan. Place the dough in the greased baking pan.

6. Add the sauce and toppings:
Spread a thin layer of broth on the dough, which you've seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano. This will add delicious flavor. Add a layer of grated cheese, then thinly sliced sausage, mushrooms, peppers and olives. Finish with another layer of cheese.

7. Baking the pizza:
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Once the oven is ready, pop the pizza in and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough is browned and the cheese is melted and golden. You'll know it's ready when it smells great and the crust is crispy.

8. Serving:
Serve the pizza warm with a simple broth sauce on the side, seasoned with salt, pepper and oregano. You can also add some fresh basil leaves for extra flavor.

Useful tips

- Variety of toppings: Feel free to experiment with other ingredients! You can add chilli peppers, corn or even pineapple for a sweet and sour touch.
- Drink pairing: A sausage pizza goes great with a cold beer or a light red wine.
- Keeping leftovers: If you have leftover pizza, you can store it in aluminum foil in the fridge. Reheat it in the oven to restore the crunch.
