Cast Iron Sausage Mushroom Pizza
Crank that oven up, pull out that cast iron pan, and in no time you will have a crispy, cheesy, oven baked sausage and mushroom pizza.
Ingredients
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz prepared pizza dough
- ½ cup Alfredo sauce
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella
- 8 oz ground sweet Italian sausage uncooked
- ¼ cup sweet white onion sliced thin
- 4 oz sliced mushrooms I used a blend of cremini, shiitake, and oyster
- ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500°
- Let the pizza dough rest on the counter at least 10 minutes.
- In a 12in cast iron skillet, drizzle in the olive oil. Use your fingers to push the dough around the skillet to completely cover the bottom
- Pour Alfredo sauce on the dough and use a spoon to spread it close to the edges of the dough.
- Top the sauce with shredded mozzarella. Break up the raw sausage into nickel sized pieces and place on top of the cheese.
- Place the mushrooms on the pizza as well. Using a spoon, dollop the ricotta all over the pizza and sprinkle the basil over the entire pizza.
- Place on the bottom rack of the oven for 15-17 minutes or until the cheese and dough begin to turn golden brown and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes, slice and serve.
