Ingredients
- 1 ball of pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 Italian sausage, casing removed and crumbled
- 4-6 slices prosciutto
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
- Prepare the Dough:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into your desired shape and thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal.
- Cook the Italian Sausage:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Assemble the Pizza:
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Distribute the cooked Italian sausage evenly over the cheese.
- Arrange the slices of prosciutto on top of the sausage.
- Scatter the thinly sliced red onion over the prosciutto and sausage.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and dried oregano over the toppings.
- Bake the Pizza:
- If using a pizza stone, transfer the pizza to the preheated stone. If using a baking sheet, place the sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Finish and Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and scatter fresh basil leaves.
- Slice and serve warm.
