Square pizza with sausage
Description
This recipe won’t take much time. Pizza made this way is quite simple to prepare but very tasty, and both adults and children will enjoy it. Of course you can freely experiment with the toppings—the dough is universal and pairs with anything. I’d like to say a separate word about the dough itself: the thinner you roll it, the thinner the pizza will be; it all depends on your preferences. Baking the pizza on a large baking sheet is very convenient; there’s enough for everyone. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Then knead a soft, slightly sticky dough by hand. Cover the bowl with a towel and leave it in a warm place for about an hour. The dough should rise to nearly double in size.

Step 5
For square pizza, a standard oven baking sheet is ideal. Dust your work surface with flour and roll out the dough to fit your pan. Grease the baking sheet with oil, transfer the dough, and spread it with your hands if needed, shaping the edges to form a rim. Prick the dough surface all over with a fork. Brush the dough with sauce and sprinkle with seasonings. Italian herb blends, basil, or oregano work well.

Step 6
On top, arrange roughly chopped tomatoes and sausage. I’m using smoked sausage, but you can use regular boiled sausage, or substitute it with frankfurters, cooked chicken breast, or bacon.
