Ingredients
Scale
- 1 prepared pizza dough (store-bought or homemade, about 12–14 inches)
- 8 oz hot sausage, browned and crumbled
- ½ cup feta, crumbled
- 1½ cups mozzarella, shredded
- ¼ cup pizza or tomato sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- Handful of fresh arugula or spinach for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven: Set your oven to 450°F (230°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, place it inside as the oven warms so it heats evenly.
- Shape the dough: Dust your counter with a little flour and stretch or roll the dough into a circle roughly 12–14 inches wide. Move it to a baking sheet or the hot stone.
- Give the crust a head start: Lightly brush the dough with olive oil and bake it for 5 minutes. This quick pre-bake helps the base stay crisp.
- Build your pizza: Spread a thin layer of sauce across the crust. Add the shredded mozzarella, followed by the cooked sausage and feta. If you want extra heat or herbiness, sprinkle on red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning.
- Bake to perfection: Slide the pizza back into the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Finish and serve: Once out of the oven, let it cool for a minute, then drizzle honey over the warm pizza. Add fresh arugula or spinach if you like. Cut into slices and enjoy!
Notes
- Extra Heat: Swap regular honey for hot honey if you want an even spicier bite.
- Fun Variations: Goat cheese, caramelized onions, roasted peppers, or even a sprinkle of fresh basil make great add-ons or substitutions.
- Storing Leftovers: Let the pizza cool completely, then refrigerate it in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven—not the microwave—for the best texture.
