Ingredients

• 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Sour cream
• 1 clove (minced) Fresh garlic
• 1.5 cups (shredded) Mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup (shredded) Gruyère cheese
• 2 links (pre-cooked and sliced into rounds) German bratwurst sausage
• 0.5 (thinly sliced) Red onion
• 0.5 cup (drained and patted dry) Sauerkraut
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the yellow mustard, sour cream, and minced garlic until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella and Gruyère cheese evenly over the mustard base.

Step 5

Top the pizza with the sliced bratwurst, red onion, and sauerkraut. Spread the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in every bite.

Step 6

Finish by sprinkling the remaining mozzarella and Gruyère cheese over the toppings. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly caramelized.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.

Step 9

Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your German Style Sausage Pizza!
