Cudduruni Con Patate, Salsiccie E Pomodori Secchi

Potato, spiced sausage, and sun-dried tomato pizza. This is one of two versions of pizza I ate in Sicily. It has a very tasty topping of sliced potatoes with rosemary, spiced sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and pecorino. It is very versatile in how you can serve it as a snack, canape, or starter, or as an informal meal. In the bakeries of Catania, it is served in large sheets to be eaten while shopping in the market.

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Cook the potato slices in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain in a colander and let dry. Crush the garlic with a little salt, then mix with the olive oil.
2
Once it has rested, punch down the center of the cudduruni dough to remove any air from it. Knead in the bowl for a couple of minutes. This can be made as either small individual pizzas or two larger ones. The large pizzas do not have to have an even shape; you can even make a large square slab if you wish. If making individual pizzas, break off 6–8 even-sized balls of dough, a little smaller than a tennis ball. Roll the dough out on a floured work surface until about 1/4 in ( 1/2 cm) thick.
3
Brush the dough with the crushed garlic and olive oil mixture, then scatter the potato slices over the top. Next scatter over the sausage and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with the rosemary and finally the pecorino. Drizzle with some more of the olive oil and garlic mixture, and season well with pepper and some sea salt. (Remember that the sausage and cheese will be quite salty.)
4
Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown on the bottom. Serve at once, cut into slices as needed.
