Cajun Sausage Pizza Recipes

CAJUN SAUSAGE PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in heavy cream and Creole seasoning. Reduce heat to low and cook until sauce thickens, about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in parmesan cheese until melted.
• Roll pizza dough out onto prepared baking sheet. Spread sauce over the top, reserving a very small amount for drizzling over the top of pizza at the end (maybe a couple tablespoons). Top the pizza with sliced sausage, bell peppers, and cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 12-16 minutes until cheese is melted and edges are golden brown. Slice and drizzle remaining sauce over the top. Enjoy!

CAJUN PIZZA

Steps:

• Follow the Best Pizza Dough recipe to prepare the dough. (This takes about 15 minutes to make and 45 minutes to rest.)
• Place a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 500°F. OR preheat your pizza oven (here's the pizza oven we use).
• Make the Homemade Pizza Sauce.
• Cut the jalapeño pepper in half, remove the seeds, and finely dice it. Thinly slice the red onion. Chop the pepper. If the cheese is not yet shredded, grate it.
• When the oven is ready, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal or semolina flour. (If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a rimless baking sheet or the back of a rimmed baking sheet. But a pizza peel is well worth the investment!) Stretch the dough into a circle; see this video for instructions. Then gently place the dough onto the pizza peel.
• Thinly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, then sprinkle liberally with Cajun seasoning. Sprinkle with as much smoked gouda and mozzarella cheese as you like. Top with red onion, jalapeno, corn, and green pepper (if using). Sprinkle with a bit of kosher salt.
• Transfer the pizza to the pizza stone using the pizza peel, and bake until the cheese and crust are nicely browned, about 5 to 7 minutes (or 1 minute in a pizza oven).

CAJUN BOUDIN PIZZA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place sausage in a baking dish and cook, rotating every 5 minutes, until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cool to room temperature and slice. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place naan bread on a baking sheet; spread marinara sauce over naan and top with mozzarella cheese. Layer sliced sausage on top of cheese and spread onion and bell pepper slices over the sausage. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over the top.
• Bake in the oven until cheese is melted and toppings are hot, about 10 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
