1 cup diced canned tomatoes

1 large clove garlic, crushed
1 scant teaspoon (1/3 palm full) oregano
pinch of sugar and salt
A few leaves of torn basil, plus a few torn to serve
1 pound ball dough from market or Easy Pizza Dough, recipe follows
extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling, and about 1/4 cup in a cup for brushing
1/2 pound hot Italian sausage
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1/2 tablespoon flour
Salt and pepper
Crushed red pepper flakes
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Pecorino cheese
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon honey
1 scant teaspoon Calabrian chili paste or chili flakes
leaf basil
Easy Pizza Crust
1 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus some for bowl to rest dough
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons kosher salt
3 cups flour
Directions:
Preheat oven to 525 to 550 degrees F, as high as it goes, with rack at center. Preheat cast-iron skillet, 10 to 12 inches, over medium-high heat. Preheat a second smaller cast-iron or other skillet over medium-high heat for the sausage.
In a food processor, whizz up sauce: tomatoes, paste, garlic, oregano, sugar, salt and a few leaves of basil.
Stretch dough into an even round that will cover large skillet.
Drizzle a little olive oil in smaller skillet. Cut sausage from casing, add to pan and lightly brown and crumble. Turn pan off.
Sprinkle a little cornmeal and flour in larger skillet and press dough into and up sides as much as possible. The pan is hot -- reminder. Brush the dough with olive oil and season with a little salt and pepper or red pepper flakes. Top the dough with the sauce and sausage, scatter the cheeses over the sausage and place in oven.
To the sausage skillet, add a little water, honey and chili paste and stir to combine (reheat your pan if it's not warm enough to heat the honey).
Bake the pizza 15 minutes to deep golden brown and bubbly. Drizzle or brush the pizza with the chili honey mixture and top with torn basil.
Easy Pizza Crust:
To a mixer with dough hook attached, add warm water and yeast and let the yeast bloom and foam, 5 minutes.
Add olive oil, honey and salt and turn on mixer. Add the flour gradually to form dough. Transfer to a bowl drizzled with a little extra virgin olive oil and cover; let stand 1 hour.
Cut dough in half; wrap half the dough and freeze for later use.
