Italian Meatball Pizza

Method

TO MAKE MEATBALLS:
Combine all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl and season to taste, then roll the mixture into large marble-sized balls. Heat the oil in a large heavy-based frying pan over medium heat and cook the meatballs for 5-6 minutes, or until golden. 

Place a pizza stone or heavy-based oven tray in the oven and preheat to 250°C. Lightly dust your workbench with semolina, then roll out the dough into a 30cm round, place on a pizza tray and prick all over with a fork. Spread the base with the pizza sauce, then scatter with Perfect Italiano Mozzarella, basil and meatballs. Place on the preheated stone or tray and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the base is golden and crisp.

Meanwhile, put the tomatoes, oregano, garlic confit cloves and oil in a bowl and season to taste. Remove the pizza from the oven, top with the tomato salad, then scatter with Perfect Italiano Shaved Parmesan and serve.
