Notes

  • Adjust the heat: Use fewer hot peppers if you prefer a milder pizza.
  • Pre-cook sausage: Be sure to cook the sausage before adding it to the pizza to avoid excess grease.
  • Honey drizzle: Always drizzle honey after baking to preserve its sweetness and texture.
  • Substitutions: Use gluten-free dough for a gluten-free version or replace sausage with vegetarian sausage for a plant-based option.
