    Meanwhile, move oven rack to lowest position; heat oven to 425°F. Grease 2 cookie sheets or 12-inch pizza pans with additional oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal. In 10-inch skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender; drain.

    Divide dough in half. With floured fingers, pat each half into 11-inch round on cookie sheet. Spread pizza sauce over dough rounds. Top each with sausage mixture, bell pepper, olives, pepperoni and cheese.

    Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a crisper crust, after pressing dough on cookie sheets, bake uncovered about 10 minutes or until crusts just begin to brown. Place toppings on crusts; bake 10 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
