Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 8 ounces (cooked and crumbled) Italian sausage
- 0.25 cup (thinly sliced) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (diced, any color) Bell pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and set a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside to heat if you have one.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it reaches your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter for a standard pizza). Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the dough and spread it evenly using a pastry brush or your fingers.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Evenly distribute the cooked and crumbled Italian sausage over the cheese layer.
Add the sliced red onion and diced bell pepper to the pizza, arranging them as desired.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and optional crushed red pepper flakes over the top for added flavor.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil around the crust to help it turn golden and crispy during baking.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade sausage pizza with your favorite sides or drinks!
