- ½ an onion
- Handful black olives
- 1 gbejna

Method
- On a floured surface open up the pizza dough with your hands. If you are confident enough, throw the dough into the air to make 12-inch diameter circles.
- Pour a ladle-full of tomato sauce on the centre of the pizza base and spread outwards in a circular motion until the entire base is covered.
- Top with mozzarella cheese.
- Remove the meat from the sausage skin and discard the skin.
