ABOUT Sun Shaped Mushroom & Chicken Sausage Pizza RECIPE

You can make this sun shaped pizza with any stuffings/fillings, even a sweet filling works wonder in this pizza, but i opted for a savoury one. My stuffing goes for a store bought pizza sauce cooked with finely chopped mushroom and chicken sausages. If you want you can bake this pizza completely as a vegetarian one just by adding your choice of veggies, even a simple spiced tomato sauce topped with grated cheese suits prefect for making this damn cute looking pizza.

Ingredients Serving: 4

For the Dough:
3 cups All purpose flour
1 tsp Instant yeast
1 tsp Sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp Olive oil
3/4 cup luke warm water
For the Filling:
2 cups of Pizza sauce
1/2 cup Chopped mushrooms
1 cup Chicken sausage (chopped)
Handful of Parsely (chopped)
Salt to taste
1 tsp Pepper powder
1 tbsp Oil
1 cup of grated processed cheese

Instructions

Take the flour, dry instant yeast, sugar, salt in a large bowl, add the luke warm water and knead for a while, gradually add the olive oil.
Knead everything a soft and smooth dough, arrange the dough in a greased bowl. Keep the dough in a warm place for an hour.
Heat the oil, add the chopped mushrooms, saute for few minutes, add in the chopped chicken sausages. Cook everything for a few minutes, add the pizza sauce, chopped parsley, pepper and salt and cook for a few minutes. Keep it aside and let it cool completely.
To shape the pizza soleil, punch down the dough and divide as two equal balls. Take a dough ball and flatten it as 1 inch thick, transfer it to a baking sheet lined over a baking tray.
Drop the filling and top it with grated cheese. Roll the dough ball again as an another round disc ( a bit larger than the first one).
Take carefully and close the filling completely. Keep a bowl in the centre, with a tooth pick or a fork, prick a small round center around the edges of the bowl. Remove it and top it with the cheese.
Now seal the edges of the pizza nicely with the help of a fork and cut as segments as shown in the picture. Once done, carefully take the slices and turn them towards you, complete this same process with the remaining slices.
Cover the sun shaped pizza and keep in a warm place for 45 minutes or until they rise. Preheat the oven to 176 degree celsius.
Arrange the baking tray in the middle rack and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust turns brown. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool a bit.
Enjoy with a salad for your lunch or dinner.
