DO This
This was fairly “fun” doing. I was a bit nervous, not sure this was going to pan out but I’m glad that it all worked out at the end. It’s a pretty quick and easy recipe and you can most certainly make your own pizza at home. The twist to this Boerewors pizza is that I used minced pork steak in place of the usual topside or fat free mince. It still tasted just as good. To add to the cheesy-ness of the pizza you can use both mozzarella and cheddar cheese. This recipe makes 1 medium thick based pizza and 1 small thin base pizza. Okay, enough talking, let’s do this 🙂
Quick Instructions
Follow this link to learn how to make the pizza dough I used in this recipe => How to make quick and easy Pizza dough
- Have your cheese (200g mozzarella cheese, grated), tomato puree (4tbsp), onions (1 small onion, chopped), garlic (2 cloves, minced), tomatoes (1 medium tomato, chopped), yellow pepper (1/4 yellow pepper, chopped) and pizza dough ready. Heat oil in pan and add your mince meat (400g mince).
- Season with salt (1 tsp) and pepper (1/4 tsp ground black pepper) and brown the mince. When mince is browned, add onions and garlic, sweat them for about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and yellow pepper. Stir and add tomato puree (1 tbsp). Mix and let simmer for 2 minutes. Your pizza topping is ready.
- Get your pizza dough and roll it out, forming a circle as you go. Get a pyrex dish or baking sheet and lightly grease it with some pure vegetable oil or olive oil. Put your pizza dough into the greased pyrex dish then spread some tomato puree onto it.
- Add your mince topping and top everything with some mozzarella cheese. Bake in oven for about 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness of your base, I had a thick base pizza so it took slightly longer)
- Your pizza’s done!

Hi Sophie, I appreciate your feedback and comment. Thank you 🙂
hie Rumbie , i tried making this pizza paweekend and the top came out nice but the base was so hard i could not even cut it . where did i get it wrong ? pliz assist .
Hi Kuku, thanks for the feedback and I’m sorry about what happened. I suspect that maybe your pizza base was thin and you kept it in the oven a little longer (for a thin base). Try again and use these times and temperatures: for a thin base- 8-10 minutes at 180 degrees and for a thick base 15-30 minutes on 160 degrees, this is really depending on how hot your oven becomes. For a normal base 10-12 minutes at 180 degrees. So after the minimum time has elapsed, keep checking on it. I hope this is helpful. Let me know how it goes.

hie Rumbie can you make ur pizza using a microwave with the same ingredients and how do u make it right now i do not have an oven just wondering will it come out perfect
Hi Martha, I’m actually not sure hey. I’ve never done it in the microwave, it would be experimenting really t see if it would work. When I get to try it out I’ll advise. Thanks
mmm,lovely better l buy ma ingredients for pizza than buy one tnx for the ideas..
Lol, thanks Mobby. Yeah making your own pizza is fun as well as cost effective 😉 Enjoy!
Hello Rumbi. I baked the pizza yesterday…it was amazing, thank you. My daughter who is 10 yrs old baked the All At Once Lemon cake and it came out so well. What better way to bond with my daughter whilst creating memories…Thank you Rumbi
Hi Grace, oh that’s awesome! Well done to you both… it indeed is special to have bonding time with our children… she’ll always have that in her memory for a long time to come 🙂
Hi Rumbie…thanx so much for coming up with such a site. i have a pizza pan and i want to know hw i go about it when making this pizza…is it the same method i use or what?..thank yu
Thank you Kudzie. Yes, it’s pretty much the same thing using a pizza pan so go for it and enjoy!
hi Rumbi, tx so much for this website. its just amazing. tried the pizza, it tasted good but my base was hard and in some areas doughy.. 🙁 what can i do, i used natural yoghurt not greek.
Thank you Cathrine. Maybe try and make your pizza dough a little bit thinner than you did last time. This means that then you would then also have to reduce the cooking time. Natural yoghurt works but greek yoghurt is best as it is a little bit thicker.
thanks rumbie…will come back to you when i try it out..
and tell me more about the cooking lessons. when, where and how much?
i have a pizza pan can i use that
Yes Patie, you can most certainly use your pizza pan.
I will never ever ever buy pizza again as long as the sun is still shining!! We followed your recipe and boy were we impressed!! Only thing i did differently was to sprinkle some chopped coriander before the cheese!!
My kids were over the moon i tell you!
Txs from us all….Xoxo
Hi Rosa, aaaaaw thank you for such great feedback. I’m glad to hear you all enjoyed the pizza. You have to try the Vegetarian one… it’s absolutely delicious 🙂 Thanks again! Oh and thanks for the coriander tip, I think I’ll try it myself too!!
Hi Rumbie. When baking your pizza do u bake it from the bottom only or do you also grill it on top?
Thank you Rumbie. May God lift you up and bless you. We love you.
Thank you and God bless you too!
hi Rumbie
would like to try any one of these pizzas for my family but where do i get the mozzarella cheese
Hi Natasha, you can find mozzarella cheese in most of the big chain supermarkets; Pick n Pay, Bon Marche, Spar, OK.
Hie rumby i am defiantely going to try this out during the weekend
I think one of your commercials triggered my web browser to resize, you may well want to put that on your blacklist.
