Supreme Personal Pan Pizza
- 2 ounces sweet or hot Italian sausage (about 1/2 link)
- 1 teaspoon canola oil
- 1/2 small white onion, quartered and sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- flour, for dusting
- 1 grapefruit-sized ball pizza dough, thawed if frozen
- 2/3 cup pizza sauce or other thick tomato sauce
- 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 ounces pepperoni, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- Preheat a pizza stone in your oven to 475F.
- Remove sausage from casing, heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat and brown the sausage, breaking up chunks with a wooden spoon.
- When just cooked through, remove from heat and drain on a layer of paper towels.
- Return pan to the stove.
- Heat the canola oil in the skillet until very hot, then quickly saute the onions and pepper for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, and remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Stretch the dough into a disc on a clean, floured surface, pushing the edges out until it looks like a pizza.
- Aside from a slightly thicker outer crust, the dough should be uniformly thick all around so it cooks evenly.
- Add a layer of sauce to the pizza, then sprinkle evenly with the cheese (feel free to use more than the recipe calls for, it's cheese).
- Top with pepperoni and cooked sausage, peppers and onions and transfer to the pizza stone using a pizza peel (but a cutting board will work in a pinch).
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly and crust is fully cooked.
- Carefully remove from oven, cut into slices and serve.
