Ingredients

For the dough:

  • ½ cup (118 ml) warm water warmed to 100– 110 °F (38 - 43°C)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups (192 grams) all-purpose/plain flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the toppings:

  • 4 ounces (113 grams) mozzarella
  • 5 ounces (142 grams) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 sweet or spicy Italian sausages removed from casing
  • Caramelized onions
  • Fresh basil chopped

Instructions

Make the dough:

  • To a bowl add the warm water, honey and olive oil. Mix until the honey is dissolved.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a large mixing bowl. While drizzling in the water, mix with a fork until the dough comes together. If it is too dry, add a little more water until it holds together to form a ball. You can switch to using your hands.
  • Flour your counter and turn out the dough. Knead, sprinkling lightly with flour so it doesn’t stick to your hands. Knead for 3-4 minutes until the dough is no longer sticky.
  • Coat the mixing bowl with a little oil and put the dough back in the bowl and cover with a towel. Place in a warm place. This can be the microwave or oven (both turned off) for 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest after kneading and make it easier to roll and keep the dough tender. Remove from the oven after 30 minutes.
  • Position the oven rack on the top ¾ portion of the oven and preheat to 450°F/230°C.
  • Place the dough onto a 12-inch (31 cm) round pizza pan or large baking sheet. Use your hands to press into a pizza shape.

Make the toppings:

  • Spread the mozzarella all over, top with the cherry tomatoes, crumble the Italian sausage all over and finish with an even layer of caramelized onions.
  • Bake for 20 until the crust is golden brown and the sausage is cooked.
