Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups high-protein wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 0.75 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces lean turkey sausage
- 0.5 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine high-protein wheat flour and instant yeast. Stir in warm water and olive oil. Add salt and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
While the dough is rising, cook the lean turkey sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Set aside.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out onto a floured baking sheet or pizza stone to form a thin circle or rectangle, approximately 12 inches in diameter.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pizza base.
Distribute the cooked turkey sausage over the sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top, followed by grated Parmesan cheese.
Season with dried oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes for added spice, if desired.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into 8 slices and serving.
