Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 pizza dough (about 12-inch circle, homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing dough)

Toppings

  • 8 ounces Italian sausage (spicy or mild, casings removed)
  • 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1–2 tablespoons pure honey (for drizzling)
  • Fresh herbs (oregano or basil, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil and set aside while preparing the toppings.
  2. Cook the Sausage: Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and crumble the meat into a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the prepared dough. Generously sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top. Add the minced garlic and optional red pepper flakes for extra flavor depth.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Place the pizza on a pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is crisp and golden and the cheese has melted beautifully.
  5. Drizzle with Honey and Garnish: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle a thin layer of honey over the hot pizza so it melts slightly into the cheese and sausage. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like oregano or basil for brightness and aroma.

Notes

  • Use room temperature dough to make stretching easier and prevent tearing.
  • Avoid heavy tomato sauce to keep the honey and sausage flavors prominent.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly first to ensure it is juicy and safe to eat.
  • Add honey only after baking to preserve its texture and create a perfect glaze.
  • Fresh herbs add freshness and help balance the richness of the pizza.
