Sausage and Roasted Tomato Thin Crust Pizza

We've been super in to thin crust pizzas lately. It took us a few tries to perfect the crust, but I think we might finally have found our favorite crispy thin crust recipe. Now that we have the crust down, we've been experimenting with a variety of toppings. This one has been one of my favorites for the roasted tomatoes.

Ingredients
pizza dough
1 cup grape tomatoes
olive oil
1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup chopped sausage
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
garlic powder
oregano

Directions
1. Prepare the pizza dough and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. While the dough is rising, roast the tomatoes. Lay the tomatoes on a greased baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and bake for 20 minutes at 400*.

3. To make a thin crust pizza, cut the dough in half. The other half of the dough can be saved in the frige for up to 3 days. Roll out half of the dough until it's approximately 12" across.

4. Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with oregano and garlic powder. Bake for 20 minutes at 400*.

5. When dough is done baking, top with sauce, ingredients and cheese and bake for another 10 minutes (or until cheese is bubbly and slightly browning) at 350*. 


Bon Appetit!
