Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Italian sausage sweet
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 red bell pepper sliced, medium
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper sliced, medium
- 1/2 onion sliced, small
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups Italian cheese mix shredded
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
Instructions
- Place a pizza stone in the oven (if using). Preheat the oven to 450-500ºF.
- In a medium pan, bring about 1/2 inch of water to a boil. Add the sausages and cover and cook until the sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes. Drain the water and add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Cook the sausages, turning, allowing the casings to crisp up. Remove the sausages from the pan and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Return to the pan and allow them to brown on both sides.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Add both peppers and the onion and cook until crisp-tender, about 8 minutes.
- Roll the crust out (on parchment, if using). Top with the pizza sauce. Add 3/4 of the cheese, followed by the peppers and onions. Add the sausage, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Place the pizza in the oven and bake until the crust is crisp and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the oregano.
