Description
Savor a delightful combination of spicy Italian sausage, creamy mozzarella, and tangy feta with a drizzle of hot honey on a perfectly baked crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- ½ lb hot Italian sausage
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup hot honey
- ½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh parsley or basil (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set it to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, stretch and roll the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
- Cook the sausage: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the hot Italian sausage until browned.
- Prepare the crust: Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush it lightly with olive oil.
- Add the toppings: Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dough, then layer with crumbled sausage and feta.
- Bake your masterpiece: Slide the pizza into the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes.
- Drizzle with honey: Pull the pizza out of the oven and generously drizzle hot honey over each pie.
- Season and garnish: Sprinkle red pepper flakes if desired, and finish with freshly chopped herbs.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the pizza to rest for five minutes before slicing.
Notes
Consider using turkey sausage for a leaner option or swapping feta with goat cheese for a different flavor. Make ahead by preparing sausage in advance.
