Ingredients

• 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 sausage links (Italian sausage or your choice), removed from casing
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you're using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
2. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone.
3. Drizzle the olive oil over the dough, spreading it evenly with a spoon or brush.
4. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula until it's browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Layer the pizza: Start by placing the sausage evenly over the dough, followed by the sliced tomatoes and red bell pepper. Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.
6. Season with dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to taste.
7. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
8. Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
