Ingredients

• 500 grams all-purpose flour
• 10 grams active dry yeast
• 10 grams granulated sugar
• 10 grams salt
• 325 ml warm water
• 50 ml olive oil
• 150 grams vegetarian sausage, crumbled
• 200 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 180 ml pizza sauce
• 20 grams cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, active dry yeast, sugar, and salt.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F).

Step 6

Grease a 9x13-inch pan with olive oil and sprinkle it evenly with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air, then press it into the prepared pan, ensuring it reaches all corners.

Step 8

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough to the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle both shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the sauce.

Step 10

Scatter the crumbled vegetarian sausage over the cheese.

Step 11

Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and edges of the crust are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
