This Grandma Pizza with Sausage, Pepper, Onion, and Mozzarella is a delicious pizza that is topped with delicious Italian sausage, green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Grandma pizza is another name for sheet pan pizza because of its rustic, imperfect appearance.
To make this recipe, start by transferring pizza dough to a greased baking sheet and stretch it out to the edges. The dough might shrink back and if it does, leave it for 10-15 minutes before trying again. As the dough rises, prepare the topping. Top the risen dough with mozzarella cheese, sausage, pepper, and onion. Bake the pizza in the oven until golden brown underneath and enjoy!
To make the Grandma Pizza with Sausage, Pepper, Onion, and Mozzarella, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 500 °F with a rack set in the bottom position.
Lightly oil a 13 x 18-inch rimmed baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Place the dough in the greased pan. Press it out with your fingers until it meets the edges and corners of the pan.
Cover the dough with a towel or plastic wrap and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
Place the sausage in a medium skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink. Use a wooden spoon to break it up into small, bite-size pieces before removing the skillet from the heat.
Sprinkle 2 cups of mozzarella over the top of the dough. Reserve the remaining ½ cup.
Using a large spoon, spread the sauce over the cheese in an even layer.
Top with the cooked sausage, pepper, onion, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scatter the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella and the finely shredded aged Gouda cheese over the top.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until the bottom of the crust is crisp and golden brown. Rotate the baking sheet once halfway through cooking.
Leave to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
