Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet or pizza stone
  • Rolling pin (optional)
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup warm water 110°F or 43°C
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • For the Topping
  • 1 cup tomato sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 8 ounces Italian sausage casing removed
  • 1 cup bell peppers sliced (use a mix of colors for a vibrant pizza)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Method
  • Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  • Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.
  • Knead the Dough: Mix until a dough forms, then transfer to a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let it Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Toppings
  • Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Sauté the Peppers: In the same skillet, add a little olive oil if needed and sauté the bell peppers until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) or higher if your oven allows for pizza cooking.
  • Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to your desired thickness (about 12 inches for a standard pizza).
  • Add the Sauce: Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone lined with parchment paper. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface.
  • Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cooked sausage and sautéed bell peppers over the sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Step 4: Bake the Pizza
  • Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  • Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve hot.
  • Variations
  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the sausage with sautéed mushrooms or eggplant.
  • Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños or crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Cheese Lovers: Mix in different cheeses like provolone or parmesan for added flavor.
