Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 ounces) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position an oven rack in the lower third of the oven. If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Lightly flour your work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour. Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick. If the dough resists stretching, let it rest for 5 minutes and try again.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush 1 tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough to prevent sogginess.
Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the crumbled cooked sausage.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese on top and scatter the fresh basil leaves over the pizza. For an extra kick, sprinkle the dried oregano and optional red pepper flakes.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the top.
Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your pizzeria-style sausage pizza with your favorite side salad or beverage!
