Sausage and Onion Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• ½ lb Italian sausage
• 1 medium onion
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 475°F with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside. Roll out the 1 lb pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

2. 2

   Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, cook 0.5 lb sausage (casings removed) over medium-high, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Spread 0.5 cup tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper.

5. 5

   Top with 2 cups mozzarella, then scatter the cooked sausage and onions over the cheese.

6. 6

   Transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or sheet. Bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned in spots, about 12-15 minutes.

7. 7

   Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
