An easy, fun pizza night favorite! Personal-sized sausage pizzas with a crispy, smoky crust, grilled on a hot pizza stone.
I use this pizza stone, the kit comes with a pizza paddle and cutter too.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough deli section — makes 2 small pizzas
  • 1/2 cup semolina flour for dusting
  • 1/4 cup jarred pizza sauce I like Carbone's or Rao's, or homemade
  • 1 cup ground sausage mild or hot — fully cooked
  • 1 cup Fresh mozzarella torn
  • 2 tbsp Parmigiano Reggiano
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp Garlic salt
  • Red chili flakes optional
  • Olive oil for hands if dough is sticky

Method
 

  1. Preheat your pizza stone (on the grill) for at least 15 minutes before doing anything else — the hotter, the better.
  2. Fully cook the sausage in a sauté pan.
  3. Dust your surface with semolina flour. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin or your hands — if it's sticky, a little olive oil on your hands helps. Keep the semolina to the bottom of the dough only, not the face.
  4. Spoon the pizza sauce over the dough — a little goes a long way.
  5. Top with the cooked sausage.
  6. Add the torn mozzarella.
  7. Finish with Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and chili flakes if using.
  8. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone using a peel or paddle, and close the lid. Check after 3 minutes and continue cooking to your preferred crispiness.
