Creating Spicy Sausage & Pepper Pizza is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to achieve pizza perfection:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer to Pan: Place the rolled dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, ensuring it fits well.
4. Add Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Layer Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the sauce.
6. Add Sausage: Distribute the cooked spicy Italian sausage evenly across the pizza.
7. Add Peppers and Onion: Arrange the sliced bell peppers and onions on top of the sausage.
8. Season: Sprinkle dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes (if using) over the toppings for extra flavor.
9. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza to enhance the flavor and help with browning.
10. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then slice it into wedges.
12. Garnish: Optionally, garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

By following these simple steps, you’ll create an incredible pizza that will wow your family and friends.
