Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dough

    In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare Sausage

    Remove the casing from the fennel sausage and crumble it into a skillet. Cook over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Prepare Cheese

    While the sausage is cooking, slice the imported mozzarella cheese into thin rounds and set aside.

Pizza Assembly

  1. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to the highest setting (usually around 475°F or 245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

  2. 8

    Shape Pizza

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  3. 9

    Add Toppings

    Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Layer with cooked fennel sausage, mozzarella cheese slices, and sprinkle grated pecorino on top.

  4. 10

    Bake Pizza

    Using a pizza peel, slide the pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

  5. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven, drizzle with olive oil, and top with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
