Cast Iron Pizza Recipe.

Ingredients:

1 3 to 4 ounce plant-based Italian sausage link*,
14 ounces
from 1 recipe Homemade Pizza Dough**
, see note
Extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing and drizzling
Scoops of Cashew Cream
, or 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
2 TBSPs chopped red onion
1/2 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained, and quartered
1/3 cup
roasted red peppers and/or roasted tomatoes
Dollops of pesto
Basil leaves
Red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Cut the plant-based sausage into small pieces.
In a small cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage pieces until browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
Press the pizza dough into a dry 10-inch cast iron skillet, pressing a thicker rim of dough around the edge to shape the pizza crust.
Prick the stretched dough all over with a fork.
Heat the skillet on the stove for 2 minutes over medium heat.
This helps the bottom of the crust become crispy.
Remove from the heat and assemble the pizza.
Brush the crust with olive oil.
Spread a thin layer of cashew cream onto the dough as a base for the toppings, or sprinkle on the grated mozzarella cheese.
Top with the red onion, artichokes, red peppers and/or tomatoes, and the sausage pieces.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden brown and cooked through.
Top with dollops of pesto, a drizzle of olive oil, fresh basil, and red pepper flakes.
