Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 lb room-temperature pizza dough
  • 8 oz Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 lb shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 oz deli ham, chopped
  • 4 oz pepperoni slices
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Dried parsley, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking it apart, until browned and fully cooked (about 8 minutes). Drain excess fat.
  3. Lightly flour a work surface and roll/press dough into a rectangle to fit a quarter-sheet pan. Transfer and press dough into the pan, forming a slight lip.
  4. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  5. Sprinkle half the mozzarella over the sauce.
  6. Evenly distribute cooked sausage, chopped ham, pepperoni slices, and bell pepper.
  7. Top with remaining mozzarella, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the crust is golden and puffed, and cheese is bubbly with light browning.
  9. Let cool slightly, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Swap meats for mushrooms, olives, or roasted veggies for a vegetarian option.
  • Use hot Italian sausage and red pepper flakes for a spicy version.
  • Mix mozzarella with provolone or cheddar for richer flavor.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge up to 5 days and reheat in a covered skillet over low heat.
  • Use parchment for easy cleanup or foil (lightly greased).
  • Par-bake heavier doughs for a crisp crust.
