|description=Pizza topped with Italian meatballs. Just 3 sausages make 18 meatballs - more than enough for two pizzas!

Yet another [[Pizza|pizza]] recipe!

We got some lovely [[Italian]]-style [[Sausages|sausages]] from [[Gourmet sausage maker - Bexley]] ([[Hall Place Farmers' Market, Bexley, Kent]]), but this time, instead of using them as sausages we would extract the [[Sausagemeat|sausagemeat]] from the sausages and make [[Meatballs|meatballs]] from them to top the [[Pizza|pizza]].

We managed to get 35 [[Meatballs|meatballs]] from 6 [[Sausages|sausages]]! The 'recipe' is here: [[Meatballs from sausages]]

{{RecipeIngredients

| Pinch of [[Black pepper|black pepper]]
| 2 tablespoons of [[Olive oil|olive oil]]
| 1 small [[Onion|onion]], very finely chopped
| Cooked [[Meatballs|meatballs]] from 3 meaty [[Sausages|sausages]]
| 1 portion of [[Pizza dough]] (makes 2 [[Pizzas|pizzas]])
| About 6 tablespoons of [[Tomato sauce for pizza]] or [[Passata|passata]]
| 2 balls [[Mozzarella cheese|mozzarella cheese]] torn into small pieces(about 250g in total)
| Fresh [[Basil leaves|basil leaves]], chopped finely
| [[Sea Salt|sea salt]] and [[Freshly ground black pepper|freshly ground black pepper]]
| Half of a Polish pickled red pepper, chopped, ''optional''
}}

===Method===
{{RecipeMethod

| Dust your work surface with [[Fine yellow cornmeal|fine yellow cornmeal]]
| Divide the [[Pizza dough|pizza dough]] into two and roll out into two thin 25.5 cm (10 inch) [[Pizzas|pizzas]]
| You can leave them in a [[Warm place|warm place]] for an hour or so to rise. I quite like them cooked immediately they are rolled out for a more crispy finish.
| Prick the [[Pizza|pizza]] all over with a fork. This prevents it puffing up too much and burning while it is cooking
| With a deft move, slide the [[Pizza|pizza]] from the [[Pizza peel|pizza peel]], on to the preheated [[Pizza stone|pizza stone]].
| Cook on one side only for about 2 minutes or until lightly [[Browned|browned]].
| Remove from the [[Oven|oven]] and distribute a ball of torn [[Mozzarella cheese|mozzarella cheese]] over the [[Pizza|pizza]].
| Spread the [[Tomato sauce|tomato sauce]] over the top of the [[Cheese|cheese]] - this helps to keep the [[Pizza|pizza]] base dry and crispy.
| Crumble the [[Meatballs|meatballs]] and arrange over the topping and drizzle with [[Olive oil|olive oil]] - preferably the [[Oil|oil]] the meatballs were cooked in.
| Return to the [[Oven|oven]] and [[Bake|bake]] until the [[Cheese|cheese]] is nicely melted. This should take about 4 minutes under a [[Grill|grill]] on a [[Pizza stone|pizza stone]], if oven [[Baking|baking]], about 15 minutes in the middle of the oven.
| Repeat for the second [[Pizza|pizza]].
| Keep the first [[Pizza|pizza]] warm at the bottom of the [[Oven|oven]] whilst you make the second.

===Chef's notes===
Use a little extra [[Olive oil|olive oil]] when cooking the [[Sausage|sausage]] [[Meatballs|meatballs]] and use this flavored [[Oil|oil]] to top the [[Pizza|pizza]] before it is [[Baked|baked]].
