Homemade Pizza with Sausage: Recipe with Video

This is a sausage and cheese pizza — something between a pepperoni and a margherita. If you're for pepperoni, it's simple: more sausage. If you're more of a margherita, make sure you add the right amount of tomato sauce and mozzarella before you put the dish in the oven. In any case, our step-by-step yeast pizza recipe will help you out a lot.

Homemade Pizza with Sausage: Recipe with Video - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for active dry yeast. Use the same amount, but you can skip the 15-minute activation step—just mix it directly with the flour.
Pesto, garlic-infused olive oil, or white sauce (like béchamel) make tasty alternatives to tomato sauce for a different flavor profile.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-10 minutes or on a skillet for a crispier crust.
Absolutely! Replace the sausage with grilled veggies (like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini) or plant-based sausage alternatives for a delicious vegetarian option.
After the first rise, divide the dough into portions, wrap tightly in plastic, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before using.
Use a gluten-free flour blend (1:1 substitute) and add 1 tsp xanthan gum for elasticity if the blend doesn’t include it. Knead gently to avoid toughness.
Check that your yeast is fresh and the water was warm (not hot) to activate it. Also, ensure the dough is in a draft-free, warm spot for proofing.
Yes! After kneading, refrigerate the dough (covered) for up to 24 hours for slower fermentation and deeper flavor. Let it come to room temperature before shaping.
Provolone, fontina, or a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan add great flavor. For a creamy touch, try fresh mozzarella or burrata after baking.
Pre-bake the rolled-out dough for 3-5 minutes before adding toppings, and avoid overloading with sauce or wet ingredients.
