Equipment
- Pizza stone or baking sheet
- Cast-iron skillet (for cooking sausage)
- Pizza peel (optional)
- Rolling Pin
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Stand mixer (optional, for homemade dough)
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
- 8 oz (225 g) hot Italian sausage (or sausage of choice)
- 4 oz (115 g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 2–3 tbsp olive oil
- 2–3 tbsp honey (regular or hot honey)
- ½ cup pizza sauce (tomato or garlic cream)
- Optional toppings: caramelized onions, arugula, roasted garlic, red pepper flakes, herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C) with pizza stone inside, if using.
- Prepare Dough: Roll out pizza dough on a floured surface into desired shape.
- Cook Sausage: Brown sausage in a skillet until fully cooked. Break into small pieces.
- Assemble Pizza: Spread sauce evenly over dough. Sprinkle crumbled feta, then scatter sausage and optional toppings.
- Bake: Transfer pizza to preheated stone or sheet pan. Bake 12–15 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is slightly browned.
- Finish: Drizzle honey over hot pizza. Add fresh herbs or arugula. Let rest 2–3 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy immediately with desired sides or beverages.
Notes
- Substitutions: Use mild sausage or plant-based sausage for lower spice. Swap feta with goat cheese, ricotta, or mozzarella.
- Honey Tip: Drizzle after baking to avoid burning and retain natural sweetness.
- Make-Ahead: Dough can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated.
- Storage: Refrigerate leftovers up to 3–4 days, or freeze slices individually for up to 2 months. Reheat in oven or air fryer for crispness.
- Flavor Boost: Add red pepper flakes, caramelized onions, or arugula to enhance complexity.
