Broccolini Sausage Lemon Deep-Dish Pizza

Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep
   Preheat your oven to 450°F. Swirl olive oil around the bottom and sides of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet or a 10-inch round cake pan.

2. Shape the Dough
   Pat the pizza dough into the skillet, letting it cover the bottom and rise about an inch up the sides.

3. Layer the Cheese & Zest
   Scatter the garlic and mozzarella over the dough, then add dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle lemon zest evenly across the top for that citrusy punch.

4. Add Veggies & Sausage
   Toss broccolini with a drizzle of olive oil, then scatter over the pizza. Season lightly with salt. Pinch small pieces of sausage and distribute evenly.

5. Bake to Perfection
   Bake for 20–25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. The cheese should be melty with a few golden spots.

6. Finish & Flavor
   Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan, crushed red pepper (if using), and a generous shake of Tuscan Evening all over. Carefully loosen the edges with a knife or spatula and transfer to a cutting board.

7. Optional Marinara Magic
   Mix tomato sauce with 2–3 Tbsp Tuscan Evening for a dipping or drizzling sauce alongside your masterpiece.

This Broccolini, Sausage, and Lemon Deep-Dish Pizza is perfect for dinner parties, date nights, or any time you want a slice of gourmet heaven. Crispy, cheesy, zesty, and herbaceous, it’s a pizza that demands attention.
