Then comes the sausage, cooked and crumbled to perfection. Add a colorful mix of bell peppers and those tangy pickled peppers. A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and maybe a pinch of red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
Pop it in the oven, and in no time, you’ve got a golden, bubbly, and downright irresistible pizza. Let it rest for a moment, then drizzle some olive oil and toss on fresh basil leaves for that finishing touch.
