Ingredients

  • 375 g Ontario Italian Sausage
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornmeal
  • 1 prepared pizza dough (375 g)
  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil

Instructions

Cut sausage into 1/2-inch (1 cm) slices. In large skillet, over medium heat, cook sausage, stirring often, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Set aside to drain on paper towels.

Sprinkle 14-inch (35 cm) pizza pan with cornmeal. Roll out pizza dough as thinly as possible and press into pan. Brush dough lightly with half of the oil.
