Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough
- 1/2 lb of Italian sausage (casings removed)
- 1 bulb of chopped fennel (reserving some of the fronds)
- 4 oz. of creme fraiche
- 1/2 - 2/3 cup of grated mozzarella
- 3 TBL of thinly sliced red onion
- 2 scallion greens, thinly sliced
- Curry powder
- Olive oil
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven (and baking stone, if using) as high as it will go (mine is 550º F).
- In a medium pan, sautée the chopped fennel in a couple of teaspoons of olive oil until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the sausage, season with salt and plenty of pepper, then cook until sausage is lightly browned, about 4-5 mins.
- Roll out pizza dough (as thin as possible) on a lightly floured surface.
- Place onto hot pizza stone or other pan.
- Cover the dough with a layer of crème frâiche. Using a slotted spoon, try to remove as much oil from the sausage and fennel mixture as possible, then place on top of the creme fraiche.
- Top with mozzarella, 1/2 the red onion and 1/2 the scallions.
- Bake on lowest rack in oven until crust is golden brown.
- Timing will vary depending upon how big or thick the pizza is, as well as what temperature you are using.
- Before serving, top with remaining onions, a few fennel fronds and sprinkle curry powder lightly over the entire pizza.
Notes
- Buon Appetito!
