For the crust:
- ½ pkg. yeast or 1⅛ tsp.
- ½ cup water warm
- ½ tsp. sugar
- 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
- 1¼ cup bread flour you can use all-purpose, but bread flour makes a fluffier crust
For the filling:
- ½ lb. Italian sausage
- 1 onion small, diced
- 1 clove garlic minced or crushed
- 1-1½ cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- ½ 14 oz. jar pizza sauce
For the top of the crust:
- 1 Tbs. butter melted
- oregano and basil dried
For the crust:
Make the crust first.
Dissolve the yeast in the water.
Mix in the other ingredients until they are well blended.
I use a stand mixer with a dough hook, but you can also do this by hand.
Let the dough rest while you cook the sausage.
For the filling:
Brown the sausage with the onion and garlic.
Drain and rinse under hot water to remove the extra fat.
Heavily grease a 9×13 casserole dish.
Layer the mozzarella and then the sausage over the top.
Pour the sauce over the sausage, using a spoon the spread it out.
On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough with a rolling pin. It should be about the shape and size of the casserole dish.
Carefully lift the dough and place it on the casserole dish.
Trim any dough that is hanging over the sides.
For the top of the crust:
Brush the crust with melted butter and sprinkle with oregano and basil, if desired.
Bake at 425° for about 25 minutes.
