14 Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Italian-style sausage, coarsely chopped
  • 70g (1/4 cup) tomato paste
  • 150g (1 1/2 cups) Perfect Italiano Pizza Plus cheese
  • 40g (about 12 slices) sliced pepperoni
  • 170g marinated capsicum, drained, cut into thin strips
  • 4 Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small handful of fresh continental parsley, coarsely chopped
  • Pizza dough

  • 125ml (1/2 cup) lukewarm water
  • 7g sachet dry yeast
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 225g (1 1/2 cups) pizza flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra for brushing

6 Method Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 250C/230C fan forced
  • For the dough: Combine water, yeast, sugar and salt in a jug. Whisk with a fork, cover with cling wrap. Set aside in a warm place for 5 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface.
  • Sift flour into a bowl. Add yeast mixture and oil. Mix to form a dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface, knead for 10 minutes or until elastic. Place in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Stand in a warm place for 30-40 minutes or until dough doubles in size.
  • Use your fist to punch dough down. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and roll into round 30cm round and place on lined baking tray.
  • Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped sausage. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until golden. Set aside.
  • Spread the tomato paste over the pizza base. Sprinkle over 3/4 of the Perfect Italiano™ Pizza Plus cheese to evenly cover. Top with the sausage, pepperoni, capsicum and mushroom. Sprinkle over the remaining Pizza Plus cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the base crispy. Scatter over the parsley to serve.
