Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made ball or homemade recipe equivalent pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices pepperoni slices
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.5 small green bell pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 5 optional, leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and green bell pepper.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the dough lightly with olive oil, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Spread the sauce evenly over the pizza dough, avoiding the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Distribute the cooked sausage crumbles evenly over the cheese.
Arrange the pepperoni slices over the sausage.
Scatter the sliced red onion and green bell pepper over the top.
Transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza with the parchment paper onto the stone.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if using.
Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
