Ingredients

  • 2 Mild Italian Sausage links
  • 18 oz pizza dough approximately
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 8 oz pepperoni sliced
  • 8 oz salami sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Remove the casings from two sausage links, crumble and cook. Roll out your pizza dough. You can make it any shape you want - whatever works for you! I made mine into a circle. Kind of. Spread some olive oil onto your pizza dough. Add the pizza sauce and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
  • Layer on some mozzarella cheese. Now it's time for the "meat lovers" part of the recipe :) I started with salami but you can start with whatever meat you like. After the salami, top with pepperoni (this pepperoni is my FAVORITE), a little more cheese, and then finally the sausage.
  • Now we get to the crust. The stuffed crust. Grab a piece of pepperoni or salami and add a little shredded mozzarella cheese to the top. Roll it up and then place it at the edge of the pizza crust. Pull the crust up and over the meat and cheese roll and press the crust together.
  • Keep working your way around the pizza, rolling and crimping until you reach the end.
  • Bake the pizza according to to your pizza dough instructions. I make my own dough and bake it at 425 degrees for about 15 minutes. The pizza is done when the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Yum!
