1 pizza
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 500F. Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Stir the sausage occasionally to break the sausage into small pieces. Add the sliced fennel and continue to cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes longer.
Step 3
Roll pizza dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Drizzle a little olive oil over the curst. Combine the ricotta and spring garlic in a bowl and whisk until well combined. Layer the sausage/fennel mixture over the pizza followed by spoonfuls of the ricotta. Top with the sliced red onion, fennel seeds and crushed red pepper flakes. Sprinkle the pizza with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper. Bake in the oven until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling, about 10 minutes. Slice and serve.
