Steps

• Prepare the Pizza Dough
• Mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates and becomes foamy.
• In a separate large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
• Stir the mixture until it forms a shaggy dough. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
• Prepare the Pizza Sauce
• In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
• Add crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat and let it cool before using it as a pizza sauce.
• Assemble and Bake the Pizza
• Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
• Punch down the risen pizza dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll out one portion into a round shape on a floured surface.
• Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.
• Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Sprinkle half of the cooked sausage, friarielli, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese over the sauce.
• Sprinkle red pepper flakes for added spice, if desired.
• Repeat the process with the remaining dough and toppings.
• Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Enjoy your delicious sausage and friarielli pizza!

Tips

• For a crispier crust, preheat the pizza stone in the oven before placing the rolled dough on it.
• Blanching the friarielli before adding it to the pizza helps to remove any bitterness.

Information

• Friarielli, also known as Italian broccoli rabe, is a leafy green vegetable with a slightly bitter taste. It pairs well with the savory flavors of sausage and cheese on a pizza.
• Feel free to customize the toppings according to your preference. You can add other vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions, or even experiment with different types of cheese.
