Watch how to make this recipe

2

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

3

In a cast iron skillet large enough to hold 1 of the pizza rounds, heat about 2 tablespoons of the olive oil

4

When the oil begins to smoke lightly, turn heat off and add 1 of the pizza rounds

5

Use a spatula to press gently on the top of the round to keep it relatively flat as it cooks

6

When you see it is slightly brown on the underside, season the top lightly with salt and pepper and flip the round on its second side

7

Season it with salt and pepper and top with the onion sausage-onion mixture and place the skillet in the center of the oven until the pizza has finished cooking, 5 to 8 minutes

8

Repeat with remaining dough and topping

In a large bowl, combine the yeast and warm water

10

Stir to dissolve the yeast and allow the mixture to rest for 5 minutes

11

Using a sieve or strainer, "sift" about half of the flour over the yeast mixture and blend until smooth with your hands

12

Add the salt, pepper and honey and mix to blend

13

Sift in the remaining flour and mix to blend

Lightly flour a cutting board or flat surface

16

The flour should feel smooth and the ingredients fully integrated

Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place, about 1 1/2 hours or until doubled in volume

19

Press gently on the dough and turn it onto a floured surface

20

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, rolling each quarter into a loose ball

21

Cover with a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest for an additional 15 minutes

22

Flatten each ball, 1at a time, and roll into a 6-inch round

23

Place each round in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet

24

In a medium skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil and cook the sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks, until golden brown and crispy

Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage from the pan onto a paper-towel lined plate

Drop the onions into the pan and cook over medium heat until caramelized, 3 to 5 minutes
