Rosemary, Brussel Sprouts and Sausage Pizza

We’re going to keep things super simps today here. Why? It’s Friday! Yay!! We want pizza and we want it fast.

In under 10 minutes we’re going to have yummy homemade pizza with the best (yes, I’m going to say it) topping ever – rosemary, brussel sprouts and pork and fennel sausage (don’t give me that look, it really is awesome).

I’m all for making homemade pizza bases because they are fresh, fluffy, crispy and delicious, but today. We want pizza and we want it fast, so we’re buying good quality store-bought pizza bases. If you like you could even buy store-bought pizza dough, but you do have to remember it is Friday so I’m suggesting the minimal effort good quality store-bought pizza base option. Just saying.

We’re slicing up some brussel sprouts, throwing them on top with some rosemary, spicy chilli flakes, tangy tomato paste and a big handful of grated mozzarella. Then, because it’s Friday, we’re grabbing a couple of free-range pork and fennel sausages and just squeezing out their middles to make little sausage meatballs to pop on top of the pizza. Easy.

Into the oven and around 8 minutes later (yes, 20 min faster than UberEats) you have the best homemade pizza on the table with a glass of red wine, trackies on your bum and your fav rom com on the TV (not that I’m suggesting my Friday night is that lame, I’m always out partying, wink).

Have a great weekend.
