Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup crushed tomatoes
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces, cooked and crumbled spicy Italian sausage
- 8 ounces, sliced fresh mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced red onion
- 2 thinly sliced red chili peppers
- 0.25 cup, torn fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) cornmeal
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Dust a pizza peel or flat baking sheet with the cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
Step 3
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove it from the heat.
Step 5
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edge for the crust.
Step 6
Top the pizza evenly with crumbled spicy Italian sausage, fresh mozzarella slices, red onion, and red chili peppers.
Step 7
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings for added flavor.
Step 8
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Scatter torn fresh basil leaves over the top and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Slice the pizza and serve immediately. Enjoy your Neffy S Spicy Italian Pizza!
