Ingredients

Base

  • Pizza Dough (enough for a 12-inch pizza)
  • Olive Oil (for brushing the dough)
  • Garlic (1-2 cloves, minced)

Toppings

  • Italian Sausage (about 8 oz, cooked and crumbled)
  • Feta Cheese (about 4 oz, crumbled)
  • Fresh Herbs (1 tbsp chopped oregano or basil)
  • Honey (2-3 tbsp for drizzling)
  • Red Pepper Flakes (optional, ¼ tsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle or your preferred shape. Brush the surface lightly with olive oil and a hint of minced garlic to create an aromatic base.
  2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked through. Break it into small chunks to ensure even distribution on the pizza.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the oiled dough. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese generously to balance the savory sausage with creamy tang. Add chopped fresh herbs and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle spicy warmth.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Transfer the assembled pizza to a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  5. Drizzle Honey and Serve: Immediately after baking, drizzle fresh honey over the hot pizza so it melts slightly into the toppings, creating the signature sweet and savory finish.

Notes

  • Use quality, fresh Italian sausage and good-quality feta for the best flavor.
  • Do not overload toppings to avoid soggy pizza and ensure even cooking.
  • Pre-cook sausage to reduce grease and develop deeper flavor.
  • Baking on a pizza stone can help achieve a super-crispy crust.
  • Drizzle honey right after baking so the sweetness absorbs into the hot toppings.
