Yield: 1 (12-inch) pizza
Dough:
- 2 1/2-3 cups Pillsbury Best All-Purpose Flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 envelope Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup hot water (120-130 F)
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
- 1 package Jimmy Dean Fresh Sausage Regular Flavor, cooked, crumbled and drained
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Wisconsin mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Wisconsin cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Wisconsin parmesan cheese
- tomatoes (optional)
- peppers (optional)
- mushrooms (optional)
- 1 1/4 cups prepared pizza sauce
- In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Gradually add water and 2 tablespoons peanut oil to flour mixture.
- Using electric mixer, beat 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8-10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
- Heat oven to 450° F.
- Roll dough into 12-inch circle; place on greased 12-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. Form standing rim by pinching edges of dough; prick dough randomly with fork. Let rest 10 minutes. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from pan; place on wire cooling rack.
- Brush crust surface with remaining peanut oil; spread pizza sauce evenly on crust. Sprinkle with sausage; top with cheeses; add toppings as desired. Bake 10 minutes, or until crust is golden. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
