The National Crust was founded upon the ideology that great food should be shared, whether that be with friends, family or the public. That is why, at The National Crust, we not only share our food with the public, but also our recipes! I know first hand how frustrating it can be trying to recreate food you have just bought from your favourite take out, just to find its missing that special ingredient. So at The National Crust we strive to provide transparency to our customers and viewers, in the hope they can find enjoyment in cooking and eating the very same food we serve up from our van and in our videos! That being said, let’s get into today’s recipe: The Chefs Favourite 🙂
The Chefs Favourite pizza is as implied my favourite! It is in essence our pepperoni pizza with the additions of homemade fennel sausage and portobello mushrooms. These additions help provide all the elements you need for that umami flavour, with heat from the pepperoni and hot honey, sweetness from the red onions, saltiness from the fennel sausage and an earthy undertone from the mushrooms!
Below you can find the recipe for our chefs favourite pizza, as well as links to our tomato sauce and dough recipes that make it up. You can also find links to the ingredients we use below:
