Smoked Mozzarella and Sausage Pizza
I’m having a moment with Fennel Sausage, particularly on a pizza that’s accompanied with mozzarella, fennel and red pepper flakes. It’s the picture of perfection!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 Delallo Italian Pizza Dough Kit
- 1-2 cups pizza sauce
- 1 cup smoked mozzarella cut into little squares
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella torn
- 1 fennel bulb thinly sliced
- ¾ pound sweet Italian sausage cooked and crumbled
- ¼ red onion super thinly sliced
- Sliced scallion
- red pepper flakes kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to garnish
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. Thirty minutes before cooking the pizza, put your pizza stone in the oven.
- Follow the directions on the Delallo Italian Pizza Dough kit to make the dough. Once the dough is ready, divide the pizza dough into 2 even pieces. Stretch each piece of dough in a circular motion, then lay them both out on a flat surface and flatten out using a rolling pin. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle some flour on it and place the stretched out dough on the peel.
- Once your 2 pizza doughs are flat and ready to be cooked, spread the pizza sauce on top of each dough.
- Tear the mozzarella into pieces and top each pizza with equal amounts of the mozzarella and smoked mozzarella and season with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and thinly sliced fennel and red onion. Transfer the pizzas into the oven and bake for 12-13 minutes until the crust is golden.
- Remove pizza from the oven and top with scallions. Season as needed and serve.
Notes
I love making my own pizza dough, but if you're short on time you can always pick up pizza dough from the deli.
