Sweet Pepper and Sausage Pizza
Round two of pizza, Slow Jams style!
Recipe…
1 lb raw pizza dough (available at your local grocery store or favorite pizza place)
1/2 Jar Sweet Pepper Slow Jams
1/2 Pound Sausage, cooked and chopped into bite size pieces (we used Corridor Sausage Co. Spicy Italian Sausage).
1/2 Cup Ricotta Cheese
4 cloves garlic, chopped
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. You may use a pizza stone or baking pan, but be sure to grease the baking pan if that is what you are using.
Brown the sausage in a medium sauté pan. Remove cooked sausage and sauté chopped garlic for 2 minutes on medium heat.
In a separate mixing bowl, stir together ricotta and garlic. Salt and pepper to taste.
Spread pizza dough onto baking pan as uniformly as possible. Note: Pizza dough can be rather unruly, so you may not get a perfect circular shape. We like all shapes and sizes and think it’s more fun that way - just try to create a uniformly thick pizza canvas so everything cooks evenly.
Spread 1/4 cup of Sweet Pepper Slow Jams on the pizza dough, leaving 1/4-1/2 inches of dough around the edge. Spread the ricotta mixture evenly on top of the jam. Sprinkle sausage on top of the ricotta. Take remaining 1/4 cup of Sweet Pepper Slow Jams and dollop liberally over the pizza.
Bake pizza for 15-20 minutes until the crust is nice and golden brown. Let finished pizza sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
