Calabrian Sausage Pizza Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, then transfer it to a pizza stone or baking tray.

2. 2

   Cook the Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the Calabrian sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Prepare the Toppings

   Slice the red onion thinly. In a bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Assemble the Pizza

   Spread the ricotta mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough. Add the cooked sausage, sliced red onion, corn, and spinach on top. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

5. 5

   Bake the Pizza

   Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the pizza and sprinkle with red pepper flakes. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

6. 6

   Garnish and Serve

   Once out of the oven, add fresh basil leaves to the top. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
