Description
A delicious and unique pizza featuring hot sausage, feta cheese, and a drizzle of honey, perfect for those looking to try something new.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces hot Italian sausage, casing removed
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, and salt. Gradually add the warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- 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.
- While the dough is rising, cook the hot Italian sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness (about 12 inches in diameter for a standard pizza).
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the mozzarella and feta cheese on top.
- Drizzle the honey over the cheese and sausage, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a crispy crust, try pre-baking the rolled-out dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- For a sweeter twist, add sliced pears or apples along with the honey for a unique flavor combination.
