Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature for at least 1 hour
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound uncooked pork sausage, casings removed
- 4 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 2 ounces sliced pepperoni
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 6 precooked meatballs, cut into quarters
- 3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
- Preheat the oven and oil the sheet pan. Arrange a rack in the lowest position and heat to the oven to 450°F. Pour the olive oil into the 13×13-inch rimmed baking sheet and tilt the pan around to sort of spread out the oil — don’t worry, the dough will push the oil around a bit more.
- Press the dough out into the sheet pan. Place the dough on the baking sheet and use your hands to press the dough out to the edges of the pan — it doesn’t need to be perfect, but work the dough into as even of a rectangle as possible. Set the dough aside to rest while you cook the sausage and mushrooms.
- Cook the sausage and mushrooms. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage in large pieces. Break up the large pieces of sausage with a spatula or wooden spoon and cook until browned, stirring regularly, about 8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to one side of a large plate and set aside. Add the mushrooms to the same pan and cook until the mushrooms are golden-brown and have released most of their moisture, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms next to the sausage.
- Dock the pizza dough with a fork. Use a large fork to pierce the pizza dough all over, focusing on the center, to within an inch of the edge.
- Spread on the sauce. Spread the sauce into a thin, even layer on the pizza, leaving some exposed dough along the edges for the crust.
- Top with the meats and cheeses. Place the pepperoni in a single layer first, then evenly distribute the meatballs, sausage, and mushrooms. Sprinkle on the mozzarella, followed by the Parmesan.
- Bake the pizza for 20 to 25 minutes. Bake until the crust and cheese are golden-brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool and slice. Cool the pizza for about 10 minutes in pan before slicing into squares and serving.
