Italian Sausage and Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

  • 1 pizza dough
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 2 ounces tomato sauce (your favorite jarred)
  • 8 ounces Italian hot sausage, browned and drained
  • 2 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • Parchment paper

Directions

Make your pizza dough earlier in the day. Brown the hot sausage and drain. Set aside. Place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of your oven. Preheat the oven to 500°F. Let your pizza stone heat up to be good and hot.

Place the pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper and press to form into a round, 10"-12" in size. Spread the tomato sauce over the pizza dough.

Slice the fresh mozzarella cheese and distribute the slices evenly around the pizza. Add the mushrooms and the sausage. Now add the shredded mozzarella cheese and some freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Cook the pizza on the bottom rack of the oven for 12 minutes or until the crust is browned and crispy.

Let the pizza rest for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
