Ingredients

Flour, for dusting
1 lb.
pizza dough (thawed if frozen), left out at room temperature for 30 minutes
2 tsp.
olive oil
2
small bell peppers (1 red and 1 orange), quartered
1
Cubanelle pepper, quartered
2
sweet Italian sausage links (about 8 oz.), halved lengthwise
4 oz.
part-skim mozzarella, shredded
1/2
small red onion, thinly sliced
3
pepperoncini peppers, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Step 1Heat grill on medium-high. Lightly dust baking sheet with flour. On floured surface, shape dough into 14-inch round; place on prepared sheet. Brush dough with 1 teaspoon oil.
2. Step 2Place peppers and sausages, cut sides down, on grill and cook, covered, 3 minutes. Turn and grill, covered, until sausages are cooked through and peppers are tender, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer to cutting board; slice.
3. Step 3Transfer pizza dough to hot grill grate, oiled side down, and cook, covered, until top begins to bubble and bottom is crisp, about 2 minutes. Brush top of dough with remaining 1 teaspoon oil.
4. Step 4Turn dough over and sprinkle grilled side with half of mozzarella, then all of onion. Top with peppers, sausage and pepperoncini; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Grill, covered, until bottom is golden brown and crisp and mozzarella has melted, about 3 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; cut into pieces to serve.
