Ingredients
  • 1 large sheet premade pizza dough (or you can make your own)
  • 2 Whole Italian Sausages
  • 1 cup sliced crimini mushrooms (baby portabellos)
  • 1/4 cup sliced or halved kalamata olives
  • 18-24 slices pepperoni
  • 1/2 cup thin onion slices
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup chopped sundried tomatoes in oil
  • 1/4 cup dried parmesan (the stuff in the can)
  • 6 - 8 Tablespoon pizza sauce
Instructions
  1. Start by cooking up and preparing your "toppings".

  2. We used mushrooms and sausage. I cooked the sausage whole and cut it up after it was done. I added the mushroom slices to the same pan to slightly sauté them. Set them aside.

  3. Next, grate the cheese. We also had sliced olives and sundried tomatoes and, of course, pepperoni.

  4. Spread the sheet of dough out and cut it into six pieces. Place on piece in each Texas Muffin cup, spreading it out covering the bottom and up the sides.

  5. Sprinkle 1 Tablespoon of the parmesan cheese in each cup (should be about 2/3 of it). That helps to keep the bottom crust from getting soggy.

  6. Top the parm with the sausage, mushrooms, olives, onions and tomatoes. Spread one Tablespoon of sauce over each, the spread over the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni. Spread on the remaining parmesan. And any other toppings you want to do.

  7. Place in a preheated oven (400°) and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes. The inside will be bubbling and the crust will be golden. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five to ten minutes.
