Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 links Italian sausage
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 small Red onion
- 1 cup Marinara sauce
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Brush one side of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Slice the sausage links into 1/4-inch rounds. Core and thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers. Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
Place the sausage slices directly on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
Grill the bell peppers and onion slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until charred but still tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal onto a large, clean baking sheet or pizza peel to prevent sticking.
Carefully place the oiled side of the pizza dough directly onto the grill grates. Grill for 2-3 minutes with the lid closed, until the underside develops grill marks and starts to crisp.
Using tongs or a spatula, flip the dough over to grill the other side. Immediately brush with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the grilled side of the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
Top with the grilled sausage, peppers, and onions. Sprinkle the dried oregano over the toppings.
Close the grill lid and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is fully cooked through.
Using tongs or a pizza peel, carefully remove the pizza from the grill. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
