When the leftovers are left in the fridgea loaf of cooked (or smoked) sausage and a piece of cheese, which no one would dare to make a sandwich out of, you can put them to use and make, for example, hot sandwiches. But you can try and prepare a more interesting dish than prosaic sandwiches. Pizza with sausage and cheese! How do you like this option for using cheese and sausage "spent assets"? If you are "for", then we offer you a recipe for a delicious, simple and very economical pizza. By the way, the recipe for the dough for this pizza is also incredibly simple. So, let's begin.
Pizza "in a hurry"
Pizza made from this dough turns out thin, and the base is soft, only the edges crunch deliciously. For such a miracle dough we will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour;
- Half a glass of milk;
- 2 eggs;
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- 1 teaspoon of salt.
For the filling:
- Sausage and cheese - how much there is (or how much it is not a pity);
- Tomato paste (tomato sauce or ketchup) - 2 tablespoons;
- Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons.
Preparation:Sift the flour and pour it into a bowl where we will knead the dough. Add salt and mix the flour and salt well. Then in another bowl mix two raw eggs, vegetable oil and warm milk into a homogeneous mass (mix, do not beat!). And gradually, in small portions, pour this mixture into the flour, stirring it with a spoon at the same time. As a result, we will get a soft and sticky dough that needs to be kneaded until elastic. This can be done if you knead the dough for about ten minutes, constantly adding a little flour to it. Then form a ball from the dough, wrap it in a clean towel and leave it to “rest” for about fifteen minutes. While the dough is resting, prepare the filling and the baking sheet. Cover the baking sheet with baking paper, cut the sausage as you like (cubes, bars, slices), and grate the cheese. After fifteen minutes, sprinkle the table with flour and roll out the dough into a very, very thin layer, which should be almost translucent. Next, move the baking sheet closer to the dough, take the layer by one edge and with a light movement of your hand, tip it onto the baking sheet. However, you can move the dough onto the baking sheet in another way, as you prefer. The dough is very elastic (if you kneaded it well) and will not tear. After that, grease the pizza base with tomato paste, sprinkle lightly with cheese and put the sliced sausage on top. Spread a little mayonnaise on top of the sausage layer and sprinkle with a thick layer of cheese. That's it. Bake our pizza for thirty to forty minutes over medium heat (180 degrees), until the dough is colored a characteristic sandy color, and the cheese is melted. By the way, the finished dough in this pizza should bubble and acquire a light layered structure. Agree that the recipe is more than simple.
Variations with filling
If you wish (and have the products), you candiversify the recipe by adding onions or green onions to the filling and using almost any sausage products (sausages, frankfurters, ham, boiled or boiled-smoked sausage). You can make the filling from several types of sausage, you can also mix different types of cheese. By the way, some housewives claim that pizza with sausage cheese is no worse than with any hard cheese. Just look at the price tag when buying such cheese: it should be cheese, not a cheese product. Tomato paste in pizza can (and in summer it is even necessary!) be replaced with fresh tomatoes. However, in this case, sliced tomatoes should be put in the penultimate layer. Add canned mushrooms or pickled cucumbers to the filling, put pitted olives in it, sprinkle with fresh herbs. In short, experiment and please do not make the filling too thick – thin dough simply “cannot cope” with it. As a rule, such a quick pizza turns out the first time. So take the recipe to your culinary piggy bank and cook with pleasure. We recommend reading:
