1
Prepare the Dough
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a deep dish pizza pan with olive oil. Press the pizza dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
2
Add Pizza Sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3
Layer the Cheese
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
4
Add Toppings
If making cheese & sausage, add the cooked and crumbled sausage on top of the cheese. For cheese & pepperoni, layer the pepperoni slices instead. For a plain cheese pizza, skip this step.
5
Finish with Cheese
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top of the toppings.
6
Season and Bake
Sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
7
Cool and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
