good
I made my own dough for this because we like personal pizzas so that’s what I did. I followed the recipe, except for the following: I used half of the smoked sausage and pulsed it in my food processor. Then I sauteed that with the peppers, onions, and herbs. I just didn’t want large pieces of the sausage on the pizza. It turned out perfectly delicious! It’s a great combination of flavors and by chopping the sausage finely, there was deliciousness in every bite. I’d definitely make it again this way. Thanks for a great dinner!!
We sauteed our peppers and onions before adding to the pizza for preference – such a wonderful flavor combination! Absolutely loved this – will absolutely make again!
This was a pretty darn tasty pizza! Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I used a homemade multigrain pizza crust and fresh basil in place of oregano–otherwise followed the recipe as-is. Really delicious, with a great combo of flavors! Thanks so much for the recipe!
I have never tried smoked sausage on a pizza. It kind of reminded me of an open faced sandwich. The toppings make this more of an adult pizza. I made two smaller ones and baked them at 400 degrees. The kids liked the sausage and cheese but not the onions and peppers. I would save this for a party appetizer with adults & make the kids one with sauce, cheese, & meat. Ty
5 stars. This was delicious!!!
Super easy and the kids loved it! A fun dinner you can make together on a Sunday night.
