Ingredients
- Pizza dough
- 1 batch
- Italian sausage
- 8 ounces, casings removed
- Broccoli rabe (friarielli)
- 1 bunch, chopped
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Garlic
- 3 cloves, minced
- Mozzarella cheese
- 1 1/2 cups, shredded
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Salt
- to taste
- Pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) to ensure a perfectly crispy crust.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
- Add the chopped broccoli rabe to the skillet. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, ensuring it fits your baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. If using a pizza stone, make sure it's preheated for an extra crispy base.
- Spread the browned sausage evenly over the surface of the pizza dough.
- Top with the sautéed broccoli rabe, distributing it evenly.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the toppings, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese for a rich flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the sautéed broccoli rabe.
- Feel free to substitute Italian sausage with chicken sausage or a vegetarian alternative for a lighter option.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations, such as adding provolone or fontina for a unique twist.
