Thin Crust Pizza with Italian Sausage and Fresh Garlic
Homemade pizza is one of those things can be a bit daunting to make, at first. However, once you find an easy pizza dough recipe the possibilities are endless. I generally make this pizza dough, which is indeed very simple, once every couple of months, cut it into 4 servings, eat one that night and freeze the other three for use at a later time. Since last night was one of the those later times, I removed the frozen ball of dough from the freezer Friday night and let it thaw in the refrigerator. About 1-2 hours before its time to eat, I remove the dough ball from the refrigerator and place it in an olive oil coated bowl and allow it to come to room temperature.
Meanwhile, I made the pizza sauce. To a cold sauce pan, I added about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 whole, but smashed garlic clove. Turn on the heat and allow the oil and garlic to come up to temperature while infusing the oil with the garlic flavor. Remove the garlic and discard when it turns a deep golden brown. Add a can of diced tomatoes to the garlic infused oil, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and salt and pepper. Cook at a medium simmer until the the sauce is thick with a luscious coating of olive oil floating on top. Remove from heat and let cool.
When the dough has come to room temperature press it out to about 1/4 inch thick and place on a baking sheet that has been coated with corn meal. Spread the tomato sauce sauce over the dough and top with any ingredients that you enjoy. I sliced a hot italian sausage very thin, shredded some mozzerella cheese, grated parmesan and thinly sliced a clove of garlic and evenly distributed all over the top of the pizza. Brush the crust with olive oil. This pizza cooked in a 500 degree oven for about 10 minutes until the cheese was melted and the crust was crispy and golden brown.
