Elevate your pizza night with homemade sausage pizza drizzled with hot honey sauce for an irresistible crust dip!
Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds prepared pizza dough , divided into 4 balls
  • 1 cup marinara sauce, store-bought or homemade
  • 1 pound mozzarella cheese (low moisture), grated
  • 8 ounces spicy Italian sausage
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • Fresh basil, garnish
  • Extra flour, for rolling and throwing the pizza
  • Hot Honey Dip:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions:
  • If your dough has been refrigerated, remove it from the fridge 1 hour before making pizza. Divide it into 4 balls and let them rest at room temperature to make them easier to handle. Cover the dough with plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. If the dough was not refrigerated, divide it just before shaping.
  • Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 500°F with a pizza stone for 20 minutes until it's extremely hot.
  • Make the hot honey dip: Microwave honey for 10 seconds in a bowl, then mix in hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Serve as a dipping sauce with pizza.
  • Roll out 1 dough ball into a thin 10-inch round on a lightly floured surface. Spread a light layer of marinara sauce over the dough, adding more if you prefer. Sprinkle 4 ounces of cheese over the sauce, then place 2 ounces of spicy sausage on top, tearing it into small meatballs for quick cooking. Season with red pepper flakes, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  • Bake the pizza: Transfer the dressed pizza onto the pizza stone and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the crust turns crispy and golden brown and the sausage is fully cooked.
  • While the first pizza is baking, start making the next pizza.
  • Cool briefly and serve: Remove the cooked pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve with hot honey dip. Repeat for remaining pizzas.
