Ingredients

  • cup Italian Sausage (cooked)
  • ½ cup Red Onion (diced)
  • ¼ cup Red Pepper (diced)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 can Refrigerated Pizza Dough (rolled out into a rectangle on a cookie sheet)
  • ½ cup Prepared Pesto
  • 1 cup Mozzarella (shredded)
  • ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (grated or shredded)
  • cup Bacon Bits
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 pinch Sea Salt (to taste)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, add the sausage and cook until just a little pink remains. (Tip-if you add a few tablespoons of water, you can break up the sausage into smaller chunks and it will cook quicker and be more like a crumbled sausage on your flatbread)
  • Add the oil, onion, and pepper and saute until tender and onion is transparent and the sausage has no pink remaining.
  • Layout the flatbread dough or the pre-made flatbread on a greased baking sheet. Spread the pesto evenly onto the rolled out flatbread dough, then sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan evenly over the top. (Save a handful of mozzarella to top the pizza with)
  • Sprinkle the sausage, onion, and pepper mixture and any other toppings you'd like on top of the pesto, then add the remaining cheese. Sprinkle oregano and sea salt to taste on top of the flatbread.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for a few minutes, then cut into 2" square pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy!
