Cook the Sausage
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages, breaking them into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Cook for about 7-8 minutes or until no pink remains.
Bake the Pizza
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare a half sheet pan (18 x 13 inch) lined with parchment paper.
- Place the dough onto the parchment paper. Stretch the dough by gently flattening the dough ball. (You can spread it out thinner if you prefer a crispy crust.)
- Use a fork to poke holes across the surface of the dough.
- Brush the dough with olive oil. Spread tomato sauce evenly, leaving about ¼-inch border on all sides.
- Add Mozzarella cheese, distributing it evenly over the surface.
- Add cooked ground sausage on top of the cheese. Spread onion slices on top.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted, and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove the pizza from the oven, and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into rectangular slices and serve immediately.
