👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
2. Prepare the dough
Roll out the pizza dough into a 10–12 inch circle and place it on a baking sheet or pizza peel.
3. Add the sauce
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Add the cheeses
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly across the pizza, then add crumbled feta on top 🧀.
5. Add the sausage
Scatter slices of spicy chicken sausage across the pizza so every bite gets a little heat 🌶️.
6. Season and bake
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle chili flakes and black pepper. Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbling.
7. Finish with honey
Remove from the oven and drizzle warm honey lightly across the pizza. Add fresh basil if desired 🍯.
8. Slice and serve
Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes, slice, and enjoy the sweet-spicy flavor explosion.
