Sauerkraut Pizza

Created by Sue on October 12, 2013

1 pound pizza dough
1/3 pound bratwurst (fresh, casings removed)
1 cup pizza sauce
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup thinly sliced bell pepper (or ancient sweet pepper or hot banana pepper)

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.
