ASSEMBLE THE PIZZA

    1. Once the dough is ready, divide it into 2 portions. You will only need half of the dough. You can freeze the other half for up to 2 weeks, wrapped well in wax paper and then in foil.
    2. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Shape the dough to fit a 12-inch pizza pan. You can do this by allowing the weight of the dough to work for you. Just toss it around until it stretches out, then place it on top of the pizza pan.
    3. Pat the dough until it reaches the edges of the pizza pan. You need to be patient as the dough relaxes. Do not over-stretch, wait for the dough to relax. Shape it and let it fill the pan when it is more relaxed and does not shrink back.
    4. Spread half of the white sauce over the dough. Sprinkle half of the Italian sausage all over. Next, sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese on top.
    5. Next, drop the remaining white sauce in dollops all over the pizza, sprinkle the remaining Italian sausage, then the mozzarella. Sprinkle the oregano and basil on top.
    6. Bake the pizza at 450 F, for 16-20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly, the cheese has melted and the edges are lightly golden.
    7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The pizza dough makes enough two 12 inch round pizzas. You can freeze the other half of the dough for up to 2 weeks. Wrap it well in wax paper, then in foil. To use, thaw it at room temperature and use it as usual.
  • If you cannot find bulk Italian sausage, simply remove the hog casing of the sausage and cook it in a skillet.
