Kiten....this was excellent!! My family truly enjoyed this pizza and my DH kept asking where I got the recipe. I was a bit concerned because my dough did not pour onto the pan and there was no tilting to smooth out the dough. I got fresh Italian sausage from my butcher friend and they were nicely seasoned...no fat to drain. I used your Pizza Sauce, fresh mushrooms and sliced bocconcini cheese. This pizza is very filling...one large slice was sufficient for me...DH was a bit of a glutton and when for another 1/2 slice. The recipe can be made up in stages and set aside until the final assembling. Well done!

Very good. Once again, when I don't have time to experiment and I need a recipe that I know is going to be delicious, I pick one of yours, Kittencal. The pizza was delicious, especially considering that it's so easy to prepare. I used a 9 X 13 baking dish instead of a pizza pan. I didn't have Italian sausage, so I used pork sausage, and I skipped the green peppers because my family doesn't like them. it still turned out great. I think this would work with any toppings. I was especially pleased that it sliced up so easily, too. Another good one! Thanks.
