Directions

Step

Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your pizza dough packaging (usually around 450°F or 230°C).

Step

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone, baking sheet, or pizza pan.

Step

Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, ensuring an even coating.

Step

Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step

Distribute the cooked and crumbled sausage evenly over the cheese.

Step

If desired, add sliced bell peppers and onions for extra flavor and texture.

Step

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step

Combine dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the cheese.

Step

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake according to the dough package instructions or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step

Once cooked, carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute before slicing.

Step

Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve hot. For an added kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes over the slices.

Tips for this recipe

To enhance the flavor of the sausage, consider using Italian sausage, which often comes seasoned with fennel, garlic, and other herbs. It adds an authentic and aromatic touch to your homemade sausage pizza.
