Categories: Grilling

Ingredients

• 1 lb. sweet or hot Italian sausage, taken out of the casings, if necessary
• 1/4 cup uncooked grits or polenta, for rolling the dough
• 1 ball prepared pizza dough, at room temp
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 cup Tuscan Red Sauce (see recipe) or Crushed Tomato Sauce (see recipe)
• 1/4 cup pickled sweet and hot peppers, sliced
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 tsp Sprinkle-icious Spice Blend (see recipe)
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Place the sausage in a large, heavy skillet. Saute over medium heat, breaking up any large pieces, until fully cooked. Alternatively, grill the sausage in its casing and slice before using. Drain on paper towels and reserve for topping.

2. Preheat the grill, roll out and shape the dough (rolling in polenta or grits), and grill the first side of the crust per the master instructions. Use tongs to transfer it to a peel or rimless baking sheet. Flip the crust to reveal the grilled side.

3. Spread the entire surface with the sauce. Top with the sausage and peppers, then sprinkle with the cheeses.

4. Finish grilling the pizza per the master instructions.

5. Remove from the grill, sprinkle with the spice blend, and season with salt and pepper. Slice and serve immediately.
