Title: Spicy Sausage Pizza
Categories: Breads, Sauces, Cheese, Pork, Herbs
Yield: 4 Pizzas

2 lb Prepared pizza dough; in 4
- balls
1 c Marinara sauce
1 lb Mozzarella cheese; grated
8 oz Hot Italian sausage
2 ts Red pepper flakes
Fresh basil; garnish
Extra flour; for rolling
- and throwing the pizza

MMMMM-----------------------HOT HONEY DIP----------------------------
1/4 c Honey
1 tb Hot sauce
1/2 ts Red pepper flakes

Warm the dough (if refrigerated):

If your dough has been refrigerated, take it out of the
fridge an hour before you want to make pizza.

Divide the dough into four balls and let them sit at
room temperature so they become easier to work with.
Keep the dough covered with plastic, though, so it
doesn’t dry out. (If your dough was not refrigerated,
divide the dough just before shaping.) Preheat the
Roccbox or oven:

Preheat your Roccbox to 600-700 ° F (somewhere in the
middle orange color); it should take about 15 minutes to
preheat.

If cooking in the oven, set the oven @ 500ºF/260ºC with
a pizza stone for 20 minutes so the stone is very hot.

PREPARE THE HOT HONEY DIP: Add honey to a microwave-safe
bowl and heat for 10 seconds. Then stir the honey
together with hot sauce and red pepper flakes. Serve the
honey as a dip with any and all pizza!

ASSEMBLE THE PIZZA: On a lightly floured surface, roll
out one dough ball until it forms a 10-inch round. It
should be pretty thin. Top the pizza with a few
tablespoons of marinara sauce. I don’t like my pizzas
very saucy, but add an extra spoon of sauce if you do.

Then top the pizza with four ounces of cheese and dot on
two ounces of spicy sausage. Be sure to tear the sausage
into very tiny meatballs so they cook quickly. Season
the pizza with red pepper flakes and a tiny pinch of
salt and pepper.

IF COOKING THE PIZZA IN THE ROCCBOX: Lightly dust your
pizza peel with flour and quickly slide the topped pizza
onto the peel. Then slide the pizza off the peel,
directly onto the hot Roccbox stone. The pizza will cook
very quickly in the Roccbox. Turn it about every 30
seconds so it cooks evenly. The pizza will be done in
3-4 minutes.

IF COOKING THE PIZZA IN THE OVEN: Slide the topped pizza
onto the pizza stone and cook for 8-10 minutes until the
crust is crispy and golden brown and sausage is cooked.

While the first pizza cooks, prepare the next pizza.

COOL BRIEFLY AND SERVE: Remove the cooked pizza from the
Roccbox or oven, and let it cool briefly before. Garnish
with fresh basil, slice, and serve with the hot honey
dip. Repeat for cooking the remaining pizzas.

REHEATING PIZZA: If you have leftover pizza, reheat the
pizza in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the pizza for
a few minutes so the crust stays crispy. Add a lid to
the skillet for a minute so the cheese melts. Be careful
removing the pizza from the skillet. It will be very
hot!
