Ingredients Method

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 500°
  2. Let the pizza dough rest on the counter at least 10 minutes.
  3. 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
  4. Pour Alfredo sauce on the dough and use a spoon to spread it close to the edges of the dough.
  5. Top the sauce with shredded mozzarella. Break up the raw sausage into nickel sized pieces and place on top of the cheese.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Let the pizza cool for 2-3 minutes, slice and serve.
