2 This is from one of Yan's books... I haven't tried this, but it looks pretty tasty.
In general, I 't care for Yan's recipes, although I do get a kick out of his show. I 't know what it is, but the few things I've made from this book just 't seem to quite make it.
3 To make crust: Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let set for 10 minutes. Stir in oil and salt; add flour gradually. Knead dough for 10 to 15
minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts until double in bulk (1 1/2 to 2 hours). Punch down dough and roll into thin crust. Make 2 pizzas of 12" diameter, 1/4" thickness. Place crust on baking sheet.
4 Combine ingredients for sauce and set aside.
5 Heat oil over high heat; put in garlic and ginger, stir for 5 seconds. Add remaining ingredients, except hoisin sauce, catsup and sesame oil; reduce heat to medium-high. Stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add hoisin sauce and catsup and stir-fry for another minute.
6 Spread sauce on dough, then top with stir-fried vegetables and meat; brush sesame oil on top.
7 Bake pizza at 375F for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy.
RES: One cup of sausage is equal to 3 sausages. For a classier pizza, add 1/2 cup sliced prawns For added hotness, put 1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil into the sauce. Servings: 1
