EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Check the grocery store meat department or an Italian deli for bulk sausage labeled sweet (mild) or hot.

Keep refrigerated dough, such as pizza dough, chilled in the original package until you are ready to use it. Refrigerated dough is easy to work with when it is very cold.

i omitted the mushrooms, sauteed the sausage in onions and green peppers with some garlic in olive oil. i also added some chopped pepperoni in the sausage mixture. i think thin slices would work better, but we couldn't find it at the market. followed the recipe otherwise. it was tasty, a nice change for dinner, the kids loved it.
