Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine warm water with sugar and active dry yeast; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in olive oil, then gradually add all-purpose flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, covering with a kitchen towel. Let it rise for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Cooking the Sausage
  1. While the dough rises, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Drain excess grease, then add chopped red onion and sauté until softened, roughly 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Assembling and Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
  2. Roll the risen dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a prepared baking sheet or pizza stone.
  3. Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil. Distribute the sausage-onion mixture evenly, then sprinkle crumbled feta on top.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
  5. Drizzle with honey, sprinkle fresh basil leaves and optional red pepper flakes, then cool slightly before slicing.
