    Recipe




    Place a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet in oven.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

    Remove casing from sausage.

    Add sausage to pan; cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring to crumble.

    Add fennel bulb; cook 4 minutes or until tender.

    Roll pizza dough into a 16-inch oval on a lightly floured surface.

    Carefully remove pizza stone from oven.

    Sprinkle cornmeal over pizza stone; place dough on pizza stone.

    Brush dough evenly with oil.

    Sprinkle sausage mixture evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

    Combine ricotta and garlic in a small bowl; top pizza with teaspoonfuls of ricotta mixture.

    Sprinkle red onion and remaining ingredients evenly over pizza.

    Bake at 500° for 11 minutes or until golden.

    Cut into 8 slices.
