Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to create a crispy crust and properly cook the toppings.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to about a 12-inch round, which will give you a thin, crisp crust.
Spread Sauce: Evenly spread the cup of pizza sauce over the rolled dough, covering the surface but leaving a small border for the crust.
Add Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, ensuring a good cheesy layer that melts beautifully.
Top with Feta and Sausage: Distribute the crumbled feta cheese and the cooked hot sausage over the mozzarella, allowing the bold, spicy flavors to shine.
Drizzle Honey: Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of honey over the toppings to add a sweet contrast to the spicy sausage.
Add Red Pepper Flakes: Sprinkle the teaspoon of red pepper flakes across the pizza for an extra kick of heat.
Brush Crust: Brush the outer crust lightly with olive oil to help it brown nicely and add extra flavor.
Bake Pizza: Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Serve: Remove from the oven, slice into portions, and serve immediately while hot to enjoy the full range of bold flavors.

Notes

Cooking the hot sausage ahead ensures it is fully cooked and crumbled so it evenly distributes on the pizza.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your preferred spice level.
Brush the crust with olive oil before baking for a beautifully golden and crispy edge.
Use a pizza stone or a preheated baking sheet to replicate a pizzeria-style crust.
Honey adds a sweet balance to the spicy sausage but can be adjusted or omitted if preferred.
