Forget what you think "ordinary" is. I'm talking pizza- fresh and homemade.

Sausage & Black Olive Pizza


Flour
1 Fresh Pizza Dough
1 (15 ounce) Package Breakfast Sausage Links
2 Tablespoons Pesto
1 Teaspoon Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper
1 Teaspoon Fancy Shredded Parmesan Cheese
1 Large Vine Tomato, Sliced Thin
1 Can Sliced Black Peppers
1 Large Jalepeno, Seeded & Sliced
1 Cup Ricotta Cheese
1/2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese

Cracked Black Pepper
Dried Oregano
Crushed Red Pepper





Preheat oven and pizza stone to 500 degrees. Place chilled pizza dough on counter at room temperature for 30 minutes to proof. Heat a medium saucepan to high heat. Add breafkast sausage links and add 1/2 cup of water. Steam until cooked and let sausage brown. Drain meat on a large paper towel and set on a cutting board when cooled. Slice into small circles and set aside. In a small mixing bowl, combine pesto, garlic, salt and pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Blend until well mixed and set aside. On a large floured surface, roll out pizza dough to fit pizza stone. Place on a pizza sheet. 

When dough is completely even and flat, brush pesto paste onto pizza covering entire surface. Place evenly, tomatoes, black olive, jalapeno slices and sausage slices.  Cover with a thick layer of ricotta cheese and fresh mozzarella. Sprinkle with a light dusting of cracked black pepper and dried oregano. When entire pizza is dressed evenly, place into preheated oven and bake for 8 minutes, turning 180 degrees, after 4 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on pizza stone for 5-7 minutes before serving warm. Add a small amount of crushed red pepper to pizza slices as desired.
