Sausage Mushroom Pizza

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 115 gr Italian sausage
• 85gr sliced mushrooms
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 package Sugo tu pizza dough
• ½ cup Sugo tu pizza sauce (from 360gr package)
• 1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
• 170g cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 260ºC. Place a pizza stone on a lower rack in the oven and allow the stone to heat for at least 30 minutes.
2. Place the dough ball on a lightly floured surface and allow to relax for about 10 minutes (but no longer than 30).
3. Roll out and shape the dough and then transfer to a piece of parchment the size of your pizza stone that has been lightly dusted with cornmeal.
4. Meanwhile, add the sausage to a medium-large skillet set over medium heat. Cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for about 5 to 7 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
5. Add a thin layer of pizza sauce to the shaped dough. Next add the slices of mozzarella, then the sliced tomatoes. Top with the crumbled sausage and basil. Drizzle with the balsamic vinegar and then finally the red pepper flakes.
6. Place the parchment with your dough directly onto the pizza stone. Bake until the crust is golden, about 8 to 12 minutes.
