Instructions
Creating Spicy Sausage and Pepper Pizza is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat your oven: Set it to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
2. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer to a baking sheet: Place the rolled-out dough on a pizza stone or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Add olive oil: Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to enhance flavor and prevent sogginess.
5. Spread the sauce: Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
6. Add cheese: Sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
7. Layer the sausage: Distribute the crumbled spicy sausage evenly over the cheese.
8. Add vegetables: Arrange the sliced bell peppers and onions on top of the sausage.
9. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over the toppings.
10. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
11. Cool: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
12. Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves if desired before slicing.
13. Slice and serve: Use a sharp pizza cutter to slice the pizza into wedges.
