How to Make Unlimited Italian Pizza Madness

Step 1 – Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, yeast, salt, sugar, olive oil, and warm water until combined.
  2. Knead by hand or mixer for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for about 1 hour or until doubled.

Step 2 – Prep the Sauce

  1. In a saucepan, combine crushed tomatoes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Simmer over medium heat for 10–15 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 3 – Build the Pizza

  1. Roll the dough out into a large circle on a floured surface.
  2. Lay the halved hot dogs along the outer edge. Fold the dough over and press to seal—this creates your stuffed crust.
  3. Spread the pizza sauce in the center.
  4. Sprinkle with mozzarella, sausage, roasted tomatoes, and any other toppings you love.

Step 4 – Bake It

  1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  2. Brush the crust with a mixture of olive oil and garlic powder.
  3. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown.

Serve & Stretch 🍕

Slice that beast and watch the cheese pull do its glorious thing. Pair it with garlic butter, ranch, or marinara for dipping. Serve with something cold and bubbly—this pizza deserves it.


Tips for Pizza Greatness

  • Use a pizza stone or steel for an extra crispy bottom crust
  • Pre-cook your sausage for flavor and safety
  • Roast cherry tomatoes with olive oil + salt at 400°F for 10–12 minutes for max flavor
  • Swap in pepperoni, mushrooms, or spicy salami for your own custom madness

What to Serve With This
