How to Make Sausage Pizza: A Simple Guide

Making sausage pizza at home is easy and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide to crafting a delicious, cheesy classic.

First, prepare the dough. Mix 2 cups of flour, 1 packet of instant yeast, 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt, and ¾ cup warm water. Knead for 5 minutes until smooth, then let it rise in an oiled bowl for 1 hour.

Next, prep the sauce. Combine ½ cup tomato sauce, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tsp dried oregano, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Cook the sausage. Brown ½ lb ground sausage in a pan, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.

Assemble the pizza. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the sauce evenly, top with cooked sausage, and cover with 1½ cups shredded mozzarella. Add extras like bell peppers or mushrooms if desired.

Bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese bubbles. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
