This slab-style pizza boasts a pillowy, focaccia-like dough topped with garlicky tomato sauce, crisp sausage and silky sautéed greens. A flavorful cheese blend brings everything together. We recommend provolone and Asiago for their slightly funkier notes, but if you prefer to keep things mild, melty fontina and Parmesan are delicious. Coating the baking sheet with oil and semolina ensures the pizza develops a crunchy bottom crust, which is especially satisfying in contrast to the dough’s tender interior. The pizza’s caramelized edges; browned, bubbly cheese; and generous array of toppings make it perfect for a crowd, but if feeding only a few, leftovers reheat well at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes.
Don’t overcook the sausage on the stovetop. Cooking just until the meat no longer is pink gives it a head start so it can brown and crisp up in the oven.
