Pepperoni and Sausage Thin Crust Recipe

Italian-American · Main course · 45 min total

A crispy, thin-crust pizza topped with spicy Italian sausage, pepperoni, and melted mozzarella cheese. This homemade version rivals your favorite pizzeria.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed, crumbled
• 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and yeast. Add warm water and olive oil, mix until dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest 15 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside.
3. Roll dough on floured surface into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer to a floured pizza peel or parchment paper.
4. Spread pizza sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
5. Scatter crumbled sausage and pepperoni slices over cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan and oregano.
6. Slide pizza onto preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.
7. Let cool 2 minutes, slice, and serve.

Tips

• For extra crispiness, par-bake the crust for 3 minutes before adding toppings.
• Use a pizza stone for best results; if unavailable, a preheated baking sheet works well.
• Leftover pizza can be reheated in a 400°F oven for 5 minutes.
