Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 0.5 cups Tomato sauce
- 0.5 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of instant yeast and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 0.75 cups of warm water.
Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form, then knead by hand for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest in a warm place for about 15 minutes to relax.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the oven rack in the lower third of the oven.
While the dough is resting, cook 0.5 pounds of Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces.
Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough out to a 12-inch circle for a thin crust.
Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread 0.5 cups of tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 0.5-inch border around the edges.
Scatter the cooked sausage evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and 0.25 cups of grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Season with 1 teaspoon of oregano, 0.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, and 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or bake directly on the baking sheet for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
