Hot Sausage Deep-Dish Pizza

Yield: 6-8 servings

Preparation Time: and Active Time: 45 min

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, cubed

2 medium onions, thinly sliced

1/2 pound bulk hot Italian sausage

1 pound (16 ounces) fresh or frozen pizza dough, thawed

1/3 cup pizza sauce

5 ounces Belgioioso Fontina cheese, shredded (1 1/4 cups)

1/3 cup julienned roasted red peppers, drained

6 ounces Tops shredded mozzarella, shredded (1 1/2 cups)

1 1/2 ounces Sartori Classic Parmesan cheese, finely shredded (about 1/2 cup)

Directions:

Heat oven to 450 degrees F.

Melt butter in a heavy, large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 20-25 minutes longer or until onions are golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove onions from the skillet; cool completely.

Brown sausage in the same pan over medium heat; drain. Set aside.

Roll out and stretch pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Press dough on the bottom and about 1 inch up sides of a greased 10-inch springform pan.

Spread pizza sauce on dough bottom. Sprinkle with fontina. Top with the onions, reserved sausage, red peppers, mozzarella and parmesan.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly. Cool slightly before serving.

Cheesemonger Tip:
Topping pizza with whole milk or part-skim mozzarella is equally delicious. The differences? Whole-milk mozzarella melts quickly and flows with little browning; and the part-skim cheese melts well, flows less and browns faster.

Please note that some ingredients and brands may not be available in every store.
