Simple ingredients come together to make a flavor-packed combination. Smoky mozzarella, a light cream base provide the richness while hot Italian sausage and red onions give it a kick, all sweetened up with a drizzle of raw honey.

Ingredients

  • 1 Prepared Pizza Dough, at room temperature
  • 1/4 -1/2 cup White Sauce (find the recipe in the Wild Palms Pizza Post)
  • ~1/2 cup Mozzarella, shredded
  • ~1/2 cup Smoked Mozzarella
  • 12-16 oz. Hot Italian Sausage (4-5 links), casings removed, browned and crumbled
  • 1/4 Large Red Onion, sliced into thin rounds
  • Drizzle of Raw Honey, to finish

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2

Let dough sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, but 45 minutes is better.

3

Remove casings from sausage and brown over medium-low heat. Break apart with a wooden spatula to get small crumbles. Drain and set aside.

4

Make the White Sauce - you can find the recipe for this in the post titled, Wild Palms Pizza.

5

Lightly coat a quarter sheet pan with olive oil and set near your assembly station.

6

On a floured surface, roll the dough out to roughly 9" x 13" and lay it in the sheet pan.

7

Spread an even, thin layer of the white sauce and sprinkle a layer of mozzarella.

8

Then sausage and more cheese. Onions and more cheese (alternating between the regular mozzarella and the smoked mozzarella).

9

Keep layering until the sausage is gone and finish with a layer of cheese.

10

Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is browned and bubbly.
