**Sausage Sheet Pan Pizza** at home:

Ingredients:

– **For the Dough:**
– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
– 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
– 2 tbsp olive oil
– 1 tsp sugar
– 1 tsp salt

– **For the Toppings:**
– 1 lb (450g) Italian sausage, crumbled and cooked
– 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 1/2 cups pizza sauce
– 1 tsp dried oregano
– 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
– Red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)

 Instructions:

1. **Prepare the Dough:**
– In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
– Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
– Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. **Preheat the Oven:**
– Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

3. **Shape the Dough:**
– Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a lightly oiled sheet pan. Use your fingers to gently press and stretch the dough to fill the entire pan.

4. **Add the Sauce and Toppings:**
– Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
– Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
– Distribute the cooked sausage crumbles evenly on top of the cheese.
– Sprinkle dried oregano and garlic powder over the pizza for added flavor. Add red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.

5. **Bake the Pizza:**
– Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6. **Serve:**
– Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve!

This recipe yields a crispy yet soft pizza crust that pairs perfectly with the savory sausage and gooey cheese. Enjoy!
