Sausage & Pepper Pizza




Source of Recipe


Williams-Sonoma Kitchen


List of Ingredients




Dough for one 12-inch pizza, made in a bread
machine
Cornmeal for dusting
Extra-virgin olive oil for brushing
6 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced,
or 1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/3 lb. mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/4 lb. spicy Italian sausage, removed from
casing and crumbled into small pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into
1/4-inch-thick slices
1 Tbs. chopped fresh oregano


Recipe



Place a cast-iron pizza pan in an oven and preheat to 450°F.

Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round. Lightly dust a baking peel with cornmeal and lay the dough on top. Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and spread the tomatoes evenly on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Lay the cheese evenly over the tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Distribute the sausage and bell pepper evenly over the cheese. Sprinkle with half of the oregano and season with salt and pepper.

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza pan. Bake until the bottom of the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the pizza with the remaining oregano. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serves 2.
