Never thought I'd be a fan of sausage and onions, but after this, I am definitely a believer. I'll have one of these in the freezer at all times!

Preparation
for 1 servings
Step
1
Of 3
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) for optimal crust texture. Shape your fresh pizza dough—homemade or store-bought—into your desired thickness and size. Place it on a prepared baking sheet or a preheated pizza stone for an authentic bake. Allow the dough to bake just until it turns a light golden hue; this par-baking step ensures a crisp foundation for your toppings. Remove from the oven and set aside.

Spread a generous layer of high-quality tomato purée over the warm crust, seasoning with a pinch of salt to enhance its depth. Scatter freshly diced mozzarella cheese evenly for that signature melt.
Peel and thinly slice a fresh onion—classic yellow or sweet varieties work best for flavor and caramelization. Set the slices aside.
Take your choice of Italian sausage (spicy or sweet), and remove the casing. Crumble the sausage by hand into rustic pieces, arranging them across the pizza. Distribute the sliced onions evenly for a balanced bite in every slice.

Slide your assembled pizza back into the hot oven. Bake until the crust edges are crisp and golden, and the cheese is fully melted and bubbling—this usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
Remove your masterpiece from the oven and let it rest for a minute. Cut into slices, finishing with a drizzle of premium extra-virgin olive oil for aroma and sheen. Serve piping hot for maximum flavor and enjoyment.
