Description
A savory Sausage Feta Pizza with spicy sausage and creamy feta on a blistered crust, ideal for weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500 g pizza dough (about 3 1/2 cups)
- 15 ml olive oil (1 tbsp)
- 400 g Italian sausage, casing removed (14 oz)
- 150 g feta cheese, crumbled (5 oz)
- 200 g pizza or marinara sauce (3/4 cup)
- 150 g shredded mozzarella (1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1–2 tbsp fresh oregano or basil for finishing
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 small lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 260°C (500°F) with a pizza stone or steel for at least 45 minutes.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high and add the sausage. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until mostly browned, then drain excess fat.
- Stretch the dough into a 12–13 inch (30–33 cm) circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Spread the sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) rim. Sprinkle cheese, then add sausage and feta.
- Slide the pizza onto the preheated surface and bake for 8–12 minutes until the crust is blistered.
- Remove the pizza and drizzle olive oil, squeeze lemon juice, and scatter herbs on top before serving.
Notes
For a cheesier twist, consider balancing sweet and tangy cheeses.
