Sausage and Peppers Pizza
8 servings
40 minutes total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 8 oz bulk mild Italian sausage (or 3 links, casings removed)
  • 1 lb Bakery rolled pizza dough
  • ¾ cup pasta (or pizza) sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend) cheese
  • ½ cup fresh tri-pepper blend (diced green, red, and yellow bell peppers)
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon shredded Parmesan cheese

Prep

    Steps

      1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Place 1 tablespoon oil in pan, then add sausage; brown 5–6 minutes, stirring to crumble sausage, until no pink remains. Let stand 2–3 minutes to cool.
      2. Prepare crust. Flour hands lightly and pat dough evenly into lightly greased or nonstick pizza pan. (Or turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll to desired thinness.) Prick all over crust with a fork before topping and baking.
      3. Top crust with sauce, mozzarella cheese, peppers, onions, and sausage. Brush outer edge of crust with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake 18–22 minutes (depending on thickness of pizza) or until crust is golden, cheese is melted, toppings are thoroughly heated, and sausage is 160°F. Let stand 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
