Ingredients

2 tablespoon light olive oil

1/2 tablespoon recipe deep dish pizza dough

1 cup quick tomato garlic pizza sauce

10 ounce shredded whole-milk low moisture mozzarella

1 pound hot italian sausage, cooked and crumbled

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

Preparation

Baking Directions:

Heat a ceramic pizza stone in a 475-degree oven. Oil a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Press dough into pan, allowing to reach up the sides. Brush dough with remaining tablespoon oil and allow to rest for 5 minutes. 2. Place pizza in oven on top of stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until light golden. Remove from oven and spread with pizza sauce. Top with mozzarella and crumbled sausage. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and beginning to color. Sprinkle with basil and serve.
