Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • pizza pan or baking sheet

Ingredients

  • 4 oz Italian sausage link
  • 1 lb Pizza dough store bought dough or use home made dough (see recipe in menu)
  • Nonstick spray
  • 3 tbsp All-purpose flour or more if needed
  • 2 cups Marinara sauce see recipe or store bought

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prep the ingredients per the instructions above.
  • (if using a raw topping or any vegetable, i.e. onion, pepper, mushroom, that needs to be cooked, ensure the necessary steps to cook those items prior to making the pizza.)
  • Prepare the dough according to the directions on the package or if using homemade dough refer to the recipe directions.
  • Clean and dry the counter well (make sure your hands are dried well before working with the dough). Sprinkle the counter with flour, and place the dough on top of the flour, coating each side so the dough doesn't stick.
  • Begin stretching out the dough using your hands or a rolling pin. Make sure it is being stretched evenly and avoid creating thin spots in the center (if the dough starts to stick while stretching it, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking).
  • Gently place the dough on a baking sheet, pizza pan, or pizza stone. (Use nonstick spray when you are using the baking sheet/pan or semolina flour if using the pizza stone to prevent sticking.)
  • Evenly ladle and spread a layer of sauce on the dough, leaving about an inch of dough without sauce around the edge.
  • Evenly distribute the mozzarella over the sauce and top with your favorite toppings.
  • Bake the pizza in the oven for 10 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted (approximately 10 minutes or more if needed).
  • Let the pizza sit for 2 to 3 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired and basil.
  • Portion the pizza. Enjoy with lemonade.
