Spicy Sausage Pizza

I’ve made a lot of pizzas at home in my day, but this is the first time I attempted to make one completely from scratch – even down to the pizza crust and sauce. The end result? Besides a few flubs along the way, I was pleasantly surprised with the final result. 

Few notes to make: it’s important to pre-bake fresh dough before you start to add your sauce and toppings, otherwise it never really cooks all the way through – learned that the hard way. Secondly, don’t be like me and top the pizza with basil, before baking, for a photo opp, and then forget to remove said basil before baking. Also learned that the hard way. 

This Spicy Sausage Pizza reminds me of a pizza I get at Garage Bar, but I get to enjoy it from the comfort of my own home (without swarms of bros) so I’m able to enjoy it a little bit more so.
