Treat your ingredients with care...

• Rice flour — Rice flour gives the crust a crispy texture. If you don't have rice flour, you can use all-purpose flour instead.
• Chinese sausage — Chinese sausage is a sweet and savory sausage that is commonly used in Chinese cuisine. If you can't find Chinese sausage, you can use regular sausage or bacon instead.

Tips & Tricks

• To get a crispy crust, preheat your oven and baking sheet before baking the pizza.
• If you want a spicier pizza, add some chili flakes or Sriracha sauce to the hoisin sauce.
• You can use any vegetables you like for the toppings, such as bell peppers, onions, or carrots.
• If you don't have a pizza stone or baking sheet, you can use a cast-iron skillet to bake the pizza.
• Leftover pizza can be reheated in the oven or on a stovetop griddle for a crispy crust.

Serving advice

Serve the pizza hot, straight out of the oven. Cut it into slices and serve with a side salad or some garlic bread.

Presentation advice

To make the pizza look more appetizing, sprinkle some chopped scallions or cilantro on top before serving.
