Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Rolling Pin
- skillet
- pizza stone or baking sheet
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup hot honey
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Brown the hot sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Top evenly with mozzarella, cooked sausage, and crumbled feta.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle generously with hot honey. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Drizzle honey only after baking to prevent burning. Use a pizza stone for a crispier crust and let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep toppings in place. Avoid overloading with toppings to maintain a crisp base.
