HOMEMADE SAUSAGE AND VEGETABLE PIZZA

Ingredients

DOUGH:

2 ½  cups flour

1 small pack active dry yeast

1 tsp white sugar

1 cup warm water 

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1 – 2 tbsp cornmeal

SAUCE:

1½ cups tomato sauce

1 tsp dried oregano

Pinch of salt

Pinch of sugar

Few dashes Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp pepper sauce or red pepper flakes (optional)

TOPPINGS:

3 – 4 sausages (brats or hot dogs), cut in thin slices

1 sweet pepper, thinly sliced

1 onion, diced

1½ cups sliced fresh mushrooms

2 cups grated mozarella cheese

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions

1. DOUGH : Mix the yeast together with the warm water and sugar. Let stand for 5 – 10 minutes until foamy.
   In another bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the oil and stir well until the dough comes together. Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Place dough in a greased bowl and let rest for ½ hour. The dough should be enough for 2 pizzas.
2. SAUCE : Meanwhile, mix all sauce ingredients together in a small pot over medium heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
3. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a round pizza pan. Sprinkle with a little cornmeal.
4. Punch dough down and divide in half. Roll one half dough out on a floured surface and place on the prepared pan. Spread the sauce evenly over the dough. Top with a mix of the grated cheeses, then the sausages and vegetables.
5. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 20 – 25 minutes or until pizza is golden brown and cheese bubbling. Slice and serve.
