– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions
Making Bratwurst Pizza is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cook Bratwurst: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bratwurst until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and slice into thin rounds.
3. Prepare the Crust: If using a store-bought crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking. If making your own, roll it out to your desired thickness and place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
4. Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
6. Add Toppings: Distribute the sliced bratwurst evenly over the cheese. If desired, add sliced bell peppers and onions on top.
7. Season: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings. Then, add Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
8. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the pizza for added richness.
9. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
10. Cool and Slice: Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
