"We love this pizza. I have also used spicy Italian sausage. I get 2 pizza's out of this recipe. It all depends on the side of the crust."

We liked this pizza but not as much as the canadian bacon one (also posted by Dancer). I added a few pieces of canadian bacon, skipped the fennel and sugar. I cooked it for 35 minutes and it was slightly overcooked. I should have looked at the 30 minutes mark. I'll make this again but think I'll cook it at a higher temp. in the center of the oven for a shorter time. Thanks, Dancer.
