Making a sausage pizza is quite straightforward! Here’s a simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- Pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- Italian sausage, removed from casings (sweet or hot, depending on your preference)
- Olive oil
- Toppings (optional): sliced onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.
- Fresh basil or oregano for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the dough:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
- Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Cook the sausage:
- In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage (removed from casing) and cook until browned, breaking it into small chunks as it cooks (about 6-8 minutes). Set aside.
- Assemble the pizza:
- Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the pizza.
- Add any optional toppings like onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor if desired.
- Bake:
- Place the pizza on a baking sheet or, if using a pizza stone, transfer the pizza directly onto the stone using a pizza peel.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Garnish & serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil or oregano if desired.
- Slice and serve hot!
