Description

Sweet & Spicy Hot Sausage Feta Honey Pizza is an incredible recipe that combines savory sausage with sweet honey and tangy feta.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup spicy Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced (optional)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare the Dough: If using store-bought dough, roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Place it on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the crumbled sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Add Toppings: Start by spreading the mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza dough. Then, layer the cooked sausage, sliced onions, and bell peppers (if using).
  5. Sprinkle Feta: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese over the pizza for that creamy, tangy flavor.
  6. Add Red Pepper Flakes: Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the top for an added kick. Adjust according to your spice preference.
  7. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  8. Drizzle with Honey: Once the pizza is out of the oven, immediately drizzle honey over the top. This will enhance the sweetness and create a beautiful glaze.
  9. Garnish: If desired, add fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Slice and Serve: Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
  • Fresh basil adds great flavor but is optional.
  • Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
