Instructions

1 ✓

Prepare the dough and let it rise for 60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Tip: The dough rises best in a warm, humid spot.
2 ✓

Roll out the dough and spread with sauce. Tear the cheese into pieces and scatter it over the top (do not grate).

Tip: Torn cheese is more rustic and better resembles the original leaf cheese.
3 ✓

Top with sausage slices. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Tip: The fat from the sausage will permeate the dough, adding extra flavor.
4 ✓

Garnish with fresh basil and a drizzle of oil before serving.

Tip: Fresh herbs balance the richness of the meat.
