Ingredients
- 1 pizza base fresh or precooked, about 12 inches wide
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 Merguez sausage or chorizo
- 1/4 red onion finely sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 tbsp hot sauce e.g. Sriracha or harissa sauce
- 1 tbsp fresh mint finely sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your your pizza oven for at least 15 to 20 minutes until it reaches a temperature of around 752°F (400°C). You can use an infrared thermometer to check the temperature accurately. If you're using a pizza stone in your oven or BBQ, place the stone in the oven or BBQ before preheating it to a maximum or it might break. Keep an eye on the oven while preheating to am maximum in case of any fire developing.
- Add the pizza sauce to the base by distributing it evenly with the back of a spoon covering the whole base apart from 1/2 inch of the edge.1 pizza base, 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- Remove the casing from the Merguez, break up the meat, and add the raw sausage evenly to the base in approx. 1/2 inch pieces. Add red onion rings and crumble feta cheese on top.1 Merguez sausage, 1/4 red onion, 1/4 cup feta cheese
- Cook the pizza for 1-2 minutes in your pizza oven, rotating it frequently to prevent the crust from burning. If you're cooking it on a pizza stone in your conventional oven or BBQ, it'll take about 10 minutes to cook.
- Remove the sausage pizza from the pizza oven, oven, or BBQ, drizzle over your hot sauce of choice, and garnish with freshly cut mint. Slice and serve immediately!1/2 tbsp hot sauce, 1 tbsp fresh mint

Notes
Preheat oven: Make sure the pizza oven or conventional oven are pre-heated well to reduce the amount of time the pizza needs to cook and for the crust to nicely puff up.
Delicate toppings: Make sure to add delicate toppings such as fresh mint after baking the pizza or it will burn and become bitter due to the high temperature.
Storage: Leftover pizza can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days. I don't recommend freezing it.
