Rosemary Potato
Chinese Sausage Pizza

A fusion of East and West, this artisanal pizza pairs creamy, thinly sliced potatoes with savory Cantonese sausage and fresh, aromatic rosemary.

Ingredients

• 1 ball pizza dough
• 1/2 cup white pizza sauce or béchamel
• 150 g mozzarella cheese
• 1 pair Cantonese Chinese sausage (lap cheong)
• 1 medium potato
• 2 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves
• 1/4 red onion
• to taste flour for dusting

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the dough

   

   Take the prepared pizza dough ball from its container and place it into a tray filled with flour. Gently coat the dough to ensure it doesnt stick during the stretching process.

   Tip: Use a light hand when coating the dough; you only need a thin, even layer of flour.
2. 2Shape the dough

   

   Press the floured dough ball down onto the surface to begin flattening it into a disc. This helps push out excess air and establishes the shape for the pizza base.

   Tip: Press from the center outward to keep the edges slightly thicker for a nice crust.
3. 3Stretch the dough

   

   Pick up the dough and gently stretch it by moving your hands along the edges in a circular motion. Let gravity help expand the dough until it reaches the desired thickness and size.

   Tip: Work quickly but gently to avoid tearing the delicate gluten structure of the dough.
4. 4Apply the sauce base

   

   Ladle your chosen white sauce onto the center of the stretched dough. Use the back of a spoon to spread the sauce evenly in a circular motion, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.

   Tip: Start from the center and spiral outwards to ensure even coverage.
5. 5Add the cheese

   

   Sprinkle a generous layer of shredded cheese over the sauced dough base. Ensure the cheese is distributed evenly to cover all areas, which will help create a melty, golden finish during baking.

   Tip: Combine different types of cheese like mozzarella and fontina for better flavor and meltability.
6. 6Top with Chinese sausage

   

   Scatter the chopped pieces of Chinese sausage across the cheese-topped pizza. Make sure they are spread out so every slice gets a bit of the savory, slightly sweet flavor.

   Tip: Slice the sausage thinly so it cooks and caramelizes well in the high heat of the oven.
7. 7Top with potatoes and rosemary

   

   Arrange the thin potato slices evenly across the pizza base. Nestle fresh rosemary sprigs in between the potato slices to infuse the dish with aromatic, woody notes.

   Tip: Slice the potatoes as thinly as possible so they cook through perfectly in the hot oven.
8. 8Add red onion slices

   

   Scatter the thin red onion slices over the potato and rosemary layer. The onions will soften and sweeten as they bake, balancing the savory notes of the sausage.

   Tip: Use a mandoline slicer for consistent, paper-thin onion slices that cook quickly.
9. 9Bake the pizza

   

   Carefully slide the prepared pizza from the peel into the preheated pizza oven. Bake until the crust is golden and crispy, the potatoes are tender, and the toppings are perfectly cooked.

   Tip: Ensure the oven is fully preheated to get that authentic crispy crust.
