Ingredients
1 pound (450g) pizza dough (or 2 large flatbreads) 8 oz (225g) hot Italian sausage, removed from casing 1 1/2 cups (170g) shredded mozzarella cheese 1/2 cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese 1/4 cup (60ml) honey, plus more for drizzling 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional) 1 tablespoon olive oil Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). If using pizza dough, roll it out on a floured surface and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using flatbread, place directly on the sheet and brush with olive oil. 2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook hot Italian sausage, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside. 3. Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the dough or flatbread. Top with cooked sausage, crumbled feta, and optional red pepper flakes. Drizzle half the honey over the toppings. 4. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until crust is golden and cheese is bubbling. Remove from oven, drizzle with additional honey, and garnish with fresh basil before serving.
Notes
• Use naan or pre-baked flatbread for an even quicker version. • Substitute goat cheese or ricotta if you prefer. • Add caramelized onions, arugula, or roasted peppers for extra flavor. • For a milder option, use sweet Italian sausage instead of hot.
