# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
02 -
340 grams ground sweet or mild Italian sausage
03 -
450 grams pizza dough
04 -
1 tablespoon cornmeal, for dusting the pan
05 -
240 millilitres pizza sauce
06 -
200 grams shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 230°C. Position a rack in the centre.
02 -
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Drain any rendered fat and set the sausage aside.
03 -
Grease a 33x23 cm sheet pan with the remaining olive oil, ensuring complete coverage. Evenly sprinkle cornmeal over the base to prevent sticking.
04 -
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough. Gently stretch it to fit the prepared pan, allowing the dough to rest for 5 minutes if it resists.
05 -
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the stretched dough, leaving a narrow border along the edges. Distribute half of the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, then sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
06 -
Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden and the crust is cooked through.
07 -
Remove pan from oven and allow pizza to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
