Spicy sausage and creamy f topped with sweet honey on crispy crust

# Components:

→ Dough & Base

01 - 1 lb pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
02 - 2 tbsp olive oil, divided

→ Sausage & Cheese

03 - 1/2 lb hot Italian sausage, casings removed, cooked and crumbled
04 - 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

→ Toppings & Garnish

06 - 1/4 cup hot honey (or regular honey plus pinch of chili flakes)
07 - 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
08 - Fresh parsley or basil, chopped, for garnish

# Method:

01 - Preheat your oven to 475°F. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
02 - On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness for two medium pizzas.
03 - In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
04 - Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet. Brush each crust lightly with olive oil.
05 - Evenly sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by the cooked sausage and crumbled feta.
06 - Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
07 - Remove pizzas from the oven. Immediately drizzle hot honey generously over each pizza. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
08 - Garnish with chopped fresh herbs. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
