Ingredients:
- 24 oz pizza dough, room temp
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 6 oz fresh mozzarella, shredded
- 1/2 large onion, sliced thin
- 1 fennel bulb, shaved or thinly sliced
- 4 apple sausages, chopped
- Garlic cream sauce
- Seasonal herbs, I used: basil, ground fennel, and oregano.
- Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
- Sheet of baking paper
Preparation:
Place pizza dough in a bowl cover with olive oil and aluminum foil. Leave outside for two hours or until it doubles its size.
Shave fennel. Ok, so I’m using a cooking gadget called mandolin, which looks more like a guillotine, a torture device from the 18th century. It’s a bit dangerous if you dont use the guard, but it is amazingly useful in slicing vegetables paper-thin or for making evenly cut fries. If you don’t have one, shaving the fennel with a plain old peeler will do the trick! Have a bowl with iced water to put the fennel shavings on it ,otherwise they will turn brown. Quickly saute fennel and set aside in a bowl.
Saute the sausage just a bit, not too much because they are going to finish cooking in the oven.
Lay pan with baking paper. Then, stretch the pizza dough in table until the dough has the desired thickness.
Spread the homemade cream sauce on dough.
Pizettas
Cook according to the 1,2,3 method from my potato pesto pizza blog post for baking a stellar crust and enjoy!
Ready for some obscenely mouthwatering pizza pics! Here we go….














Great recipe and great looking pizzas/pizzetas. So, which one was better?
Pizzetta for sure! It has a higher crispy crust ration than the normal pizza! thanks for stoping by
In response to your other response to another comment … making pizza dough takes about ten minutes. Ditch the store bought stuff!
I thouhgt you had to let it proof for a while before using it. But I’ll give it a try for sure!
I make the dough and let it rise while I’m getting the rest of the ingredients ready. Here’s my recipe: Combine 1/2 tsp active dry yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar, 1 3/4 cup warm water. Then add 2 cups bread flour. Then flour about 1/2 cup at a time until it’s not real wet and you can take it out of the bowl and knead it, adding more flour as you go. Pour one TBSP of olive oil in a bowl, put the dough in it and turn over to coat both sides, cover with a towel. This is enough for four medium sized pizzas or six small pizzas. While the dough rises, grate your cheese, slice your toppings. Get everything read. Cut the dough in to the number of pizzas you want, form into balls, dust with flour, cover with a towel. Let rest for 15 minutes or so, while preheating your oven as high as it goes. Make Pizza.
Thank you so much! I’ll definitively give it a try!
That look phenomenal. Yum!
Thank you so much!!
Looks yummy. Do you make your own pizza dough or buy a prepared dough? I’m dying to get a mandolin.
I wish I had time to make it my self! This was was store bought! PS: the mandolin is one of my fav kitchen gadgets! It really elevates the presentation of dishes!
Thanx for the follow of Food Nazi
Oh my goodness, this looks delicious. My mouth is watering!
Thank you so much!
we just tried this recipe for pizza crust. it was delicious and you don’t have to wait for it to rise. http://bit.ly/LVmnNT
Sidenote: I did have add more flour when I was rolling though because it was a little to moist.
Thanks for sharing this! I will try it next time I make pizza! Happy blogging
That is a gorgeous pizza!
…and I’m completely jealous of your mandolin. What kind is it? No idea why I haven’t bought one yet. Now it’s on my list!
That you! Actually its MIU France, It costs 150, but I got it on sale for 40 Dollars at http://www.cutleryandmore.com/ ! They have great deals! Such a steal
Awesome! Now you just turned me on to another cooking/shopping site. My husband thanks you. LOL!
You can’t go wrong with fennel… perfect for schnapps too…

Thank you very much!
Hi Angela, thx for the “like” to my blog
Wow, this pizza looks delic…was missing it while in Thailand…I actually just picked up 2 slices for dinner, haha.
If I had seen your post earlier, I would’ve paid for your plane ticket to NYC/ NJ to cook it for me
HAHA! That is funny! I’m glad I inspired you to eat pizza! It’s my fave
What can I say that others have not? It all looks great. What a wonderful site. I’ll have to check back when it’s time to have pizza here at the farm. Thanks for liking a post of mine at Pairodox – much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Boy … I’m hungry now!
OMG (as the kids say) the pizza looks great. I just rolled out of bed but, somehow, I could eat pizza right now. Thanks for the great recipe, I’ll have to revisit the next time we’re thinking about pizza for dinner. Thanks also for checking in at PairodoxFarm … much appreciated. D
Thank you! Your blog was great!
I love making pizza for my family. I also like to repurpose an ordinary bread machine for making the crust dough. All you need to do is to throw in the ingredients for whichever dough you like, set it to the dough cycle and forget it (mine has a timer, so you can have it done by the time you need the dough.) The great thing is, I think every second hand store in the world has a new, or nearly new one for $5-$10. I got mine for free because my sis-in-law got it for a wedding present and never knew what to do with it.
Thank you for the tip! I actually have one that my mother in law gave me, but did not know that I could use it for making pizza dough ! Thank for stopping by & looking forward to your blog posts!
Wow,,, i wanna order pizza all of the sudden LOL. Great tips
