Sausage & Kale Pizza, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Method

  1. To make the white pizza sauce, add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour.
  2. Stir and cook the flour mix for around a minute. Turn the heat to low and slowly add the milk, stirring or whisking continuously to maintain a smooth consistency.
  3. Once all the milk has been added, stir in the parmesan and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for a few minutes to thicken. Place some baking paper directly on top of the sauce to avoid creating a skin.
  4. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. It will thicken further upon cooling.
  5. Prepare the kale by massaging it with olive oil and salt. This helps to tenderise and to remove some bitterness.
  6. To make the pizza, preheat a pizza oven to 350°C. Stretch the dough out over a lightly floured pizza peel. Spread white sauce evenly over the base followed by torn pieces of mozzarella.
  7. Squeeze the meat out of the sausage casings and spread small chunks over the top. Finish with torn pieces of kale and a drizzle of chilli oil and cook for around 5 minutes or until cooked though evenly.
  8. Remove the pizza and top with grated parmesan.

Notes

Keep any leftover sauce in the fridge to use again as a cheesy sauce for pizza, lasagne or even baked potatoes.

You could use any good quality pork sausages. Italian style sausages are perfect for this recipe.

If you are using a standard oven, cook at 250°C fan-forced for around 10–12 minutes.
