Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or heavy baking sheet inside for 30 minutes.
Stretch the Dough and Base ingredients into two thin 10-inch circles on parchment paper.
Spread the Sauce, top with Mozzarella, then scatter raw crumbled Sausage and shaved Fennel over the surface.
Slide the pizza onto the hot surface and bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden-brown and the sausage is cooked through; finish with a squeeze of fresh Lemon juice before serving.
