Recipes Main Courses
In the Dominican Republic, pizza has undergone a unique evolution. "Queso de Hoja" (leaf cheese) is a local, hand-kneaded fresh cheese with a layered structure and springy texture. This is paired with local spicy sausage. This pizza is the embodiment of Caribbean laid-back style and richness of flavour.

Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the dough and prove for 60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Tip: The dough rises best in a warm, humid place.
2 ✓

Roll out and spread with sauce. Tear the cheese over it (do not grate).

Tip: Torn cheese is more rustic and resembles the original leaf cheese more closely.
3 ✓

Place the sausage slices on top. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The fat from the sausage permeates the dough, adding extra flavour.
4 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil and oil when serving.

Tip: The fresh herbs counterbalance the richness of the meat.
