Serves: 2 (12-inch) pizzas
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 cups thinly sliced green bell
peppers
1 pound Italian sausage links, cut
into 1/2-inch pieces
1 recipe of Basic Pizza Dough
12 ounces grated mozzarella cheese
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons dried oregano
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large sauté pan,
over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions. Season with
salt and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the peppers. Season with salt and
pepper. Continue to sauté for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. In
a large sauté pan, over medium heat, add the sausage and render for 4 to 6
minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Divide the dough in half and roll
into a 14-inch circle, about 1/2-inch thick. Press the dough into 2 greased
12-inch deep-dish pizza pans. Sprinkle each pizza with 6 ounces of the grated
cheese. Spoon 1/2 of the onion and pepper mixture over each pizza. Sprinkle 1/2
of the sausage over the onion mixture on each pizza. Spread 1 cup of the tomato
sauce over the top of each pizza. Sprinkle each pizza with 1 tablespoon of
oregano. Bake the pizzas for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the
pizza from the oven and cut into individual servings.
