Bavarian-Style Pizza

Ingredients

While the New York-style pizza is known for its thin and crispy crust, the Bavarian-Style Pizza features a thicker and chewier crust. Additionally, we have replaced some of the traditional pizza toppings with Bavarian ingredients such as sausages, sauerkraut, and mustard. The result is a pizza that captures the essence of Bavarian flavors while still maintaining the essence of a classic pizza. We alse have the original recipe for New York-Style Pizza, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Bavarian sausages — Use high-quality Bavarian sausages for the best flavor. If unavailable, you can substitute with any other flavorful sausages.
• Sauerkraut — Rinse the sauerkraut under cold water before using to reduce its tanginess if desired.
• Bavarian mustard — Look for Bavarian-style mustard in specialty stores or use a whole grain mustard as a substitute.

Tips & Tricks

• For a crispier crust, pre-bake the pizza crust for a few minutes before adding the toppings.
• Experiment with different types of Bavarian sausages to find your favorite flavor combination.
• Add a sprinkle of caraway seeds over the pizza for an extra touch of Bavarian flavor.
• Serve the pizza with a side of Bavarian potato salad for a complete meal.
• If you prefer a spicier pizza, add some sliced jalapenos or chili flakes to the toppings.

Serving advice

Serve the Bavarian-Style Pizza hot, straight from the oven. Cut it into slices and enjoy it as a main course or share it as a delicious appetizer at your next gathering.

Presentation advice

To enhance the Bavarian theme, serve the pizza on a wooden cutting board or a rustic pizza stone. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
