Stove Top Supreme Pizza

We are smitten with this recipe. Each slice has just the right amount of everything to please everybody. First, the crust, made with L&B White Pizza Dough, is the perfect combo of crispy and chewy. Second, the toppings — big, satisfying chunks of sausage plus green peppers, pepperoni, mushrooms and onion — are hefty but not too heavy to weigh your slice down. Third, the nice little zip from the L&B Hot Italian Sausage perfectly complements the slightly sweet and light L&B Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce. So go ahead and cancel your Friday delivery order and stay in with this bad boy instead. With the perfect combo of ready-made and fresh ingredients, it’s homemade pizza made supremely easy.

Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour, for dusting
  • 1
    L&B White Pizza Dough
  • 2
    teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2
    L&B Fresh All Natural Hot Italian Sausage Links, cut into ½”-thick rounds
  • 1
    green bell pepper, cut into ¼”-thick strips
  • ½
    large white onion, cut into ¼”-thick strips
  • 1
    (8-ounce) package sliced cremini mushrooms
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • ¼
    cup L&B Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce
  • 1
    cup shredded low moisture mozzarella cheese
  • ½
    cup sliced pepperoni
  • Red pepper flakes, for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    On a lightly floured surface press the pizza dough into a 6-inch circle. Lift it off the surface and let it hang over your fists. Move your hands toward the edges of the dough, rotating and stretching it into a 10-inch circle. Cover the dough with a moist towel and set aside while you prepare the toppings. 

  2. 2

    Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and the sausage. Sear the sausage pieces on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the sausages to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add the bell peppers, onions and mushrooms to the pan. Season with salt and cook, stirring often, for 6 to 8 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and start to caramelize. Transfer the vegetables to a small bowl and set aside.

  4. 4

    Carefully place the stretched pizza dough into the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the dough is golden brown on the bottom, about 6 to 8 minutes.

  5. 5

    Using a flat rubber spatula, flip the dough. Immediately spread the pasta sauce in an even layer on top of the dough. Top with the cooked vegetables, sausage, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Cover the pan and continue to cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the pizza is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Transfer the pizza to a cutting board, garnish with the red pepper flakes. Slice and serve.
