Preparation

Step 1

Press pizza dough into a 10-12" cast iron skillet. (If you don’t have cast iron, use a skillet or pot with very thick sides. The pizza has to bake for a long time so you want the heat to distribute very evenly. A ceramic casserole dish would also do the trick. A too-thin pan will burn the crust – you want it soft and chewy!) Flatten dough against the bottom of the pan and press it all the way up the sides of the skillet.

Spread 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce on the pizza. Then, spread a layer of 3/4 cup mozzarella. Continue layering by adding the sausage, and top the sausage layer with the remaining mozzarella cheese.

Spread the remaining pizza sauce on top of the last layer of cheese.

Bake at 375 for 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Slice and serve immediately.
