Ingredients

For the dough:

1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 ½ cups all purpose flour

For the toppings:

2 Mild Italian sausages casings removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup pizza sauce
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup diced red onion
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 °F. Brush a cookie sheet with oil.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet. Add sausages; cook until brown and no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
Stir warm water, sugar and yeast until dissolved. Add the olive oil and salt. Stir in the flour until well blended. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Place dough on the cookie sheet. Using fingers dipped in olive oil, pat and shape dough into a 14X10 rectangular shape.
Spread pizza sauce over the dough. Spoon drained sausages evenly over the sauce. Arrange the mushrooms, bell peppers and onions evenly on top of the sausage and finally sprinkle the cheese on top of the mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edge is crisp and golden.
Serve immediately.
Enjoy!
