Description
A quick and flavorful weeknight pizza featuring tangy feta, savory sausage, and a blistered crust.
Ingredients
- Pizza dough (500 g / ~18 oz)
- Olive oil (30 ml / 2 tbsp)
- Italian sausage (250 g / 9 oz)
- Crumbled feta (150 g / 5.3 oz)
- Tomato sauce (160 g / 2/3 cup)
- Red onion (1 small, thinly sliced — about 70 g / 2.5 oz)
- Fresh oregano or basil (10 g / 1/3 cup loosely packed leaves)
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, 1/4–1/2 tsp)
- Kosher salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Brown the sausage by heating a skillet over medium-high heat and adding the crumbled sausage. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until browned.
- Caramelize the onion in the same skillet with olive oil for 6–8 minutes until soft and golden.
- Preheat your oven to 260°C (500°F) with a pizza stone or baking steel for at least 45 minutes.
- Shape the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 30–35 cm (12–14 inch) round.
- Build the pizza by spreading tomato sauce, then adding sausage, caramelized onions, and crumbled feta on top.
- Bake the pizza at 260°C (500°F) for 12–15 minutes until the crust is blistered and golden.
- Finish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of flaky salt before serving immediately.
Notes
For a crisper crust, use room temperature dough and avoid too much sauce. Can be made ahead by preparing sausage and onions up to 3 days in advance.
