Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350.

Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

If you choose to, pour the jar of pizza sauce over the crust.

Crumble sausage into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Remove sausage with a slotted spoon and sprinkle over dough crust. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly.

Heat oil in skillet. Add mushrooms and onion, and cook and stir until onion is tender. Stir in tomatoes, oregano, salt, fennel seeds, and garlic powder. Spoon over mozzarella. Sprinkle Parmesan over the top.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes in preheated oven.
