Calories: 677kcal
Equipment
- Rolling Pin
- pizza pan or baking sheet
Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough store bought dough or use home made dough (see recipe in menu)
- 2 oz Ground Italian sausage
- Nonstick spray
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour or more if needed
- 2 cups Marinara sauce see recipe or store bought
- 3/4 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
- 4 tsp Ricotta cheese
- 1/4 tsp Dried oregano optional
- 1/4 tsp Red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prepare the store bought dough according to the directions on the package.
- In the meantime, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Place the sausage in the pan and cook it, breaking it up into smaller pieces using a spatula until it is no longer pink. Then set aside.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet or whatever kind of flat oven safe baking pan you are using to cook the pizza in, with non-stick spray.
- Clean and dry the counter well (make sure your hands are dried well before working with the dough). Sprinkle the counter with flour, place the pre-made dough on top of the flour, coating each side so the dough doesn't stick.
- Begin rolling out the dough using a rolling pin to stretch the dough to fit the baking sheet or pan you are using. Make sure it is being stretched evenly and avoid creating thin spots (if the dough starts to stick while stretching it, sprinkle flour to prevent it from sticking).
- Gently place the dough on the baking sheet or pan.
- Evenly ladle and spread a layer of sauce on the dough, leaving about an inch of dough without sauce around the edge.
- Evenly spread the mozzarella and sausage over the sauce. Using a teaspoon place dollops of ricotta on top.
- 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 8 to 10 minutes more).
- Let the pizza sit for 2 to 3 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if desired.
