Boerewors on a pizza? Oh yes! Here’s a fusion of South African and Italian food that will be the crowning glory of your braai.

Ingredients

For the Base

1125 ml or 4 cups of white bread flour
1/16 tsp big pinch of salt
1 packet of instant yeast
5 ml or 1 tsp white sugar
30 ml or 2 tbsp olive oil
375 ml or 1½ cups of warm water and milk mix

For the Tomato Sauce

15 ml or 1 tbsp Robertsons Mixed Herbs
30 ml or 2 tbsp tomato paste
1 can of chopped tomato and onion mix

For the Toppings

250 g of cooked, thin boerewors cut into pieces
30 ml or 2 tbsp Robertsons BBQ Spice
125 ml or ½ cup of chopped piquanté peppers (peppadew)
250 ml or 1 cup of caramelised onions
750 ml or 3 cups of mixed grated cheddar and mozzarella
30 g rocket for garnish

Cooking Method

Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl and make a well in the center.
Mix the yeast, sugar and oil into the milk mix and leave for a few minutes.
Pour into the well and mix in the flour with clean hands, a little at a time, until it all comes together to form a sticky dough.
Sprinkle a little flour onto the surface and knead the dough for about 10 minutes or until it is soft and springy to the touch.
Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover with clingfilm and leave to rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until the dough has roughly doubled in size.
Divide into 4 pieces and roll out into circles.
Add the Robertsons Mixed Herbs, tomato paste and canned tomato into a bowl and stir well.
Spoon onto the bases and spread around, leaving a 2cm edge.
Top with the cheese, boerewors, peppadews and onions, sprinkle with Robertsons BBQ Spice and bake in a hot oven or weber until the base is crispy and the cheese has melted.
Serve immediately garnish with fresh rocket.
