Ingredients
- 2 pieces scallion pancakes
- 150 g homemade bolognese sauce
- 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
- 50 g sausage, sliced
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- optional red pepper flakes
Instructions
- 1Prep the pancake base
Stack two scallion pancakes together and allow them to warm up slightly. Use a fork to prick holes all over the surface of the pancakes to prepare them as a base for your pizza.
Tip: Pricking the dough helps keep the pancakes flat and prevents large bubbles from forming during baking. - 2Crimp the edges
Using the tines of a fork, carefully shape and crimp the edges of the stacked pancakes. This creates a secure border that will hold the filling in place and prevent it from leaking during the baking process.
Tip: Press firmly with the fork to ensure the two layers are well-sealed at the perimeter. - 3Apply the sauce
Take a generous amount of homemade bolognese sauce and spread it evenly over the surface of the prepared scallion pancake base, leaving a small border near the crimped edges.
Tip: Ensure the sauce is distributed evenly so every bite has consistent flavor. - 4Add the first cheese layer
Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the bolognese sauce. This layer will help bind the toppings to the base.
Tip: Use freshly shredded mozzarella for better melting quality and a stretchier texture. - 5Top with sausage
Arrange slices of homemade sausage in an attractive circular pattern over the mozzarella cheese layer. This ensures the toppings are evenly distributed.
Tip: Space the sausage slices evenly so that each slice of the final pizza contains a good amount of meat. - 6Final cheese and herb finish
Add a final layer of mozzarella cheese over the sausage slices, then finish with a light sprinkle of dried parsley for color and flavor.
Tip: Dont overdo the dried parsley; a light sprinkle is enough to add a nice herbaceous note. - 7Bake the pizza
Place the assembled scallion pancake pizza into a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius. Bake for 20 minutes, adjusting the time and temperature based on your specific ovens performance, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Tip: Keep an eye on the oven during the last few minutes to ensure the cheese reaches your desired level of golden brown.
