Pizza alla Zingara

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
'Zingara' (Gypsy) style dishes in Italian cuisine usually denote colourful, paprika-spiced, slightly piquant dishes. This pizza is a real flavour bomb: the spiciness of the sausage, the saltiness of the olive, and the sweetness of the pepper meet. A rustic, filling dish that is not about refinement, but the enjoyment of life.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 220°C. Slice the sausage, pepper, and olives in advance.

Tip: Mise en place (preparation) is important because the pizza needs to be assembled quickly.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and place it on the tray. Spread with the tomato sauce, lightly salt and pepper.

Tip: The acidity of the sauce will counteract the fattiness of the sausage. (Flavour balance).
3 ✓

Sprinkle with the mozzarella, then arrange the sausage, pepper, and olives on top.

Tip: Place the toppings so there is some of everything on each slice, but don't overlap them too much or they will steam.
4 ✓

Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges of the sausage brown.

Tip: The sausage fat renders out and mixes with the cheese, forming an orange, flavourful layer.
5 ✓

Remove and immediately sprinkle with fresh basil.

Tip: The fresh herb acts refreshingly alongside the heavy, meaty toppings.

Recipe FAQ

What sausage should I use?
Italian 'Salsiccia' or a good quality spicy dried sausage (like chorizo or pepperoni) is best. The main thing is that it should have a robust flavour.
Won't it be too salty?
The sausage and olives are also salty. Only salt the tomato sauce and dough cautiously!
