How to Make Unlimited Italian Pizza Madness
Step 1 – Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water until combined.
- Knead by hand or mixer for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.
Step 2 – Prep the Sauce
- In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
- Simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.
Step 3 – Build the Pizza
- Roll the dough out into a large circle on a floured surface.
- Lay the halved hot dogs along the outer edge. Fold the dough over and press to seal—this creates your stuffed crust.
- Spread the pizza sauce in the center.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella, sausage, roasted tomatoes, and any other toppings you love.
Step 4 – Bake It
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Brush the crust with a mixture of olive oil and garlic powder.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.
