Method
For the pizza dough
In a large bowl mix by hand or in a mixer the flour and yeast. Slowly add the water and knead well. Add the salt in the last min of kneading. Continue kneading until the dough is firm and stretchy.
Cover the dough with a dish towel and leave to rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
When the dough is ready, divide it into 6 equal balls, 125 g each and leave it to rest for about 15 minutes.
For the quick-pickled cucumbers
In a saucepan over medium heat, bring the water with salt and sugar to a boil and stir until both are completely dissolved. Take the saucepan off the heat; add white wine vinegar, stir, and let the mixture cool slightly. Set it aside.
Wash and chop the dill, keeping the leaves in a small bowl. Set it aside. Wash the cucumbers and cut ½ centimeter thick slices.
Place your dill and cucumbers into a glass jar; add the brine.
Heat 2 tbsps. oil in a pan over a medium-high heat, add the Redefine Bratwursts to the pan and fry for 5-6 minutes until cooked through. Remember to rotate a few times during the cooking to get some nice caramelization.
Place a pizza dough ball on a lightly floured work surface and press air lengthwise from the center of the dough into the crust, creating an indentation of the length and width of the bratwurst.
Transfer the stretched dough to a lightly dusted peel; add a handful of grated cheddar to the middle of the dough to prevent it from rising during the bake.
Place the dough into the oven. Cook for 1 minute, turning once halfway to ensure an even bake.
Remove from the oven; add the semi-cooked bratwurst above the cheddar. Place it back in the oven and bake for 8-10 mins until the pizza dough and the bratwurst get a nice golden colour.
Remove from the oven. Top with mustard, pickles, crispy onions and garnish with chopped dill.
Repeat the steps for the remaining pizza dogs. Serve warm.
