DIRECTIONS

1. Prepare your pizza dough: Preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually 450-500°F or 230-260°C) with a pizza stone or baking steel inside, if you have one.

2. Crumble & brown the Lottie’s Calabrian Sausage in a pan on medium-heat for 6-8 minutes and set aside.

3. Assemble the pizza:

• On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out your pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
• Spread a generous layer of vodka sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
• Distribute the crumbled Lottie’s Calabrian sausage and sweet and sour peppers over the sauce.
• Place the cubed Fontina Val d'Aosta cheese over the toppings.

Bake the pizza:

• Carefully transfer the pizza to your preheated pizza stone or baking steel (or a preheated baking sheet).
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly caramelized. Cooking time may vary depending on your oven.

Finish and serve:

• Once out of the oven, drizzle with a little olive oil.
• Garnish with fresh basil, if desired.
• Finish with a generous sprinkle of grated Grana Padano cheese.
• Slice and serve immediately.
• Before you serve, stir in the fresh parsley and grated Parmesan.
• And, don't forget to enjoy with some crusty sourdough bread!
