Italian Sausage & Caramelized Onion Pizza Recipe 🍕 | Easy and Delicious Homemade Pizza

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: provolone cheese

Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: chicken sausage

💰Cheaper: pork sausage

Chicken sausage offers a leaner option without sacrificing taste.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free alternative with a cheesy flavor.

Heat a skillet over medium to low heat and add butter.

Once the butter is heated, add sliced onions, ensuring they do not overlap too much.

If the onions threaten to burn, add a little bit of water to help them brown.

Cook the onions until they become transparent and lose their moisture before browning.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface, using flour on your hands to prevent sticking.

Press the dough while avoiding pressing the edges too much to maintain the crust.

Stretch out the center of the dough while keeping it moist.

Prepare to top the pizza with sauce after the dough has proofed and come to room temperature.

Par bake the dough in the preheated oven for a bit to get the proper texture.

Spread a layer of homemade pizza sauce over the par-baked dough.

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Add cooked Italian sausage and caramelized onions on top of the cheese.

Place the topped pizza in the oven to bake.
