In a large saute pan, over medium heat, add the sausage and render for 4 to
6 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Divide the dough in half and
roll into a 14−inch circle, about 1/2−inch thick. Press the dough into 2

the grated cheese. Spoon 1/2 of the onion and pepper mixture over each
pizza. Sprinkle 1/2 of the sausage over the onion mixture on each pizza.
Spread 1 cup of the tomato sauce over the top of each pizza. Sprinkle each

until golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and cut into individual servings.
