Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the yeast by dissolving sugar and active dry yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dough by combining the yeast mixture with olive oil. Gradually add flour and salt until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  4. Grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, cover, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours.
  5. Shape the dough by punching it down, dividing in half, and forming balls. Let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Cook the Italian sausage in a skillet for about 5-7 minutes until browned. Drain excess grease.
  7. Sauté sliced red onion for 3-4 minutes in the skillet, then add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) with a pizza stone if available.
  9. Roll out one dough ball into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
  10. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil.
  11. Assemble the pizza by spreading the sausage and onion mixture on the dough, then crumble feta cheese on top.
  12. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  13. Remove from the oven, drizzle with honey, sprinkle with basil and red pepper flakes, slice, and serve.
