It's been a busy week here in our home. We've been fitting in quite a few last minute day -trips before school starts. Sometimes this means you don't plan out dinner very far in advance. So we chose to make pizza! My husband and I decided to tag-team in dinner prep tonight. He cooked the sausages while I got the crusts ready and oven preheated. My husband had read that the best way to cook sausage is to poach them first in water, then drain the water and finish sauteing them. I'd have to say, they turned out beautifully.
We kept our pizzas simple. For crusts we used
My Bread pita bread and topped it simply with the First Fresh Italian Chicken sausage and mozzarella cheese. Even in this picture you can see the amount and distribution of spices. If you think these sausages look good, they taste even better!
To make our pizzas turn out more like pizzeria style, I preheated our
pizza stone in a 375 degree oven. I slid our prepped Italian sausage pizzas on the stone, and placed them back in the oven for 12 minutes. At ten minutes I checked them and gave them a turn for even browning. After retrieving them from the oven, I let them rest for 5-7 minutes. The delicious smells made it difficult to wait. We passed the time with a quick salad of lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, chickpeas and
shredded beets.
