Some of these ingredients I don't use on my pizza's but I included them for those of you who do. Pepper Sausage Pizza 3 to 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided 1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast 1 teaspoon sugar 1 cup warm water (120° to 130°) 1/4 cup olive oil 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided 3 cups torn fresh spinach 1 can (15 ounces) pizza sauce 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese, divided 1/2 pound bulk pork sausage, cooked and drained 1 medium onion, chopped 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced 1/2 medium sweet yellow pepper, chopped 1-1/2 teaspoons pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning 3 tablespoons minced fresh basil, optional In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour, yeast and sugar. Add water; beat until smooth. Add the oil, salt, dried basil, pepper, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 cups flour; beat until blended. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place spinach in a microwave-safe bowl; cover and microwave on high for 30 seconds or just until wilted. Uncover and set aside. Press dough into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Spread with pizza sauce; sprinkle with 2-1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, sausage, onion, spinach, mushrooms and yellow pepper. Top with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. Sprinkle with pizza seasoning. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Sprinkle with fresh basil if desired. Cut into squares.
