Ingredients

• Basic Pizza Dough
• 2 cups ricotta cheese
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup finely chopped cooked sausage or pepperoni
• Salt and freshly ground pepper
• Basic Tomato Sauce

Supplies

• One or two cookie sheets
• Aluminum foil

Directions

1. Step 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position. Line a sheet pan with foil.

2. Step 2

   For the filling, kids can combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, and sausage in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Step 3

   Separate the dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll or press each piece to a 5-in. circle on a lightly floured surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup filling onto one half of each dough disk. Cover filling by folding over the side of the dough to enclose. Seal the edge using the tines of a fork, pressing firmly. Transfer the pizzas to the prepared sheet pan. Continue with the remaining dough and filling.

4. Step 4

   Bake the pizzas until golden and puffed, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for several minutes before serving. Serve with warmed tomato sauce for dipping.
