Categories     Potato     Lunch

Yield 6 Pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (13.8 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust
1 lb. smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 tsp. butter
2 cups leftover or refrigerated mashed potatoes
1 cup saurkraut, rinsed and well drained
1 cup (4 oz.) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp. caraway seeds

Steps:

  • Unroll dough into a greased 15"x10"x1" baking pan; flatten dough and build up edges slightly. Bake at 425 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute kielbasa in butter until browned. Spread mashed potatoes over crust. Top with saurkraut, kielbasa, cheese and caraway seeds. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality pizza dough, either store-bought or homemade. If using a store-bought dough, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the toppings. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pizza.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy and difficult to cook.
  • Bake the pizza at a high temperature, around 450-500°F (230-260°C). This will help the pizza cook evenly and prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Watch the pizza closely while it is baking. Once the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown, the pizza is done.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese set and prevent the pizza from falling apart.

Conclusion:

German Oktoberfest pizza is a delicious and festive way to celebrate the fall season. With its crispy crust, savory toppings, and gooey cheese, this pizza is sure to be a hit with everyone at your party. So next time you're looking for a fun and easy meal, give German Oktoberfest pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
