CloseMethod
-
1.Preheat the oven to 180°C.
-
2.For the pizza dough, combine flour, yeast and 2 tsp salt flakes in a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add oil and 1 cup (250ml) warm water, and knead for 6 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover and stand in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
3.Meanwhile, wrap garlic in foil and bake for 45 minutes or until tender. When cool enough to handle, squeeze half the garlic cloves into a bowl and add oil, 1/2 tsp salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Coarsely mash with a fork to combine. Add remaining garlic cloves and stir to combine. Set aside.
-
4.Increase oven to 250°C. Dust 2 large baking trays with semolina.
-
5.Knock air from pizza dough with a single punch and transfer to a lightly floured work surface. Halve dough and roll each half out to a rough 20cm x 40cm oval. Transfer to prepared trays.
-
6.Combine sausage mince and 2 tbs garlic oil in a bowl and spread over pizza bases. Scatter with potato, cheese, onion and oregano.
-
7.Drizzle pizzas with 2 tbs garlic oil and bake, swapping trays halfway, for 20 minutes or until bases are cooked through.
-
8.Preheat oven grill to high and grill pizzas, 1 at a time and checking regularly (remove oregano if burning), for 3 minutes or until golden.
