Sauerkraut Pizza

Step 1: Preheat oven to 500F. Preheat a pizza stone on the lowest oven rack.

Step 2: Brown bratwurst with the casing removed until it is cooked through; drain, then chop more if needed.

Step 3: Divide dough into two pieces and shape into balls; place on parchment paper and on top of a heating pad or other warm surface and allow dough to warm up and relax.

Step 4: Press dough out with your hands on the parchment; if it draws back a lot, allow it to relax further. When you can press out the dough as thin as you like, brush the top of the dough with olive oil.

Step 5: Slide parchment onto pizza stone and bake a few minutes to par-bake the crust until it bubbles but not so much that it burns. Don’t pop the bubbles.

Step 6: Pull out the dough and top with sauce, mushrooms, minced onions, cooked crumbled bratwurst, then top with mozzarella cheese, sauerkraut and pepper slices.

Step 7: Bake for up to ten minutes on the parchment, on the pizza stone, until it is as dark as you like.

Step 8: Remove pizza on parchment from oven onto your peel, then slide the pizza off the paper and cut into pieces.

Step 9: Sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
