Ingredients
- 8 oz. Italian sausage sliced
- 1 batch of pizza dough homemade or store-bought
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp coarse salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasonings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1 medium green bell pepper cut into rings
- 1 medium red bell pepper cut into rings
- ½ medium white onion sliced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 460°F.
- Using a large skillet, brown the Italian sausage on both sides (~6-8 minutes total). Once fully cooked, place sausage on plate and pat dry with paper towels.
- Meanwhile, shape dough into a 16-17” round pizza and place on a piece of parchment paper that has been dusted with cornmeal.
- Using a small dish, combine the olive oil, salt and Italian seasonings. Brush this mixture evenly around the outer 1” of dough.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the interior portion of the dough.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella evenly on top of the sauce.
- Layer the sliced peppers, onions and cooked sausage around the top of the pizza.
- Bake at 460°F for 13-14 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. (Tip: Using a pre-heated pizza stone will yield a much tastier crust!)
