Recipe courtesy Bobby Flay

Ingredients
1/2 pound Italian hot sausage
1 large red onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
2 large yellow pepper, cored, seeded and quartered
2 large red pepper, cored, seeded and quartered
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 recipe favorite pizza dough, rolled into 4 (6-inch) rounds
1/2 pound grated fontina cheese
1 cup sheep's milk ricotta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

Basil Vinaigrette, recipe follows

Directions
Preheat a grill.

Grill the sausage on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 10
minutes per side. Brush onions and peppers with the oil and season with salt and
pepper. Grill the onions and peppers until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Remove the sausage from the grill and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Remove the
onions, separate into rings, and roughly chop. Remove the peppers and slice into
1/8-inch thick slices.

Heat grill to high. Brush dough with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and
grill for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown. Turn over and grill for 1 to 2

minutes. Remove from the grill and place on a flat surface.

Divide the fontina cheese among the 4 pizza rounds. Divide the sausage, onions and
peppers over the cheese. Place the pizza on the grill, close the cover and grill
until the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes. To finish in the oven, preheat
the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the pizza on sheet pans and bake until the cheese
has melted, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Mix together the ricotta, extra-virgin olive oil, and oregano in a small bowl and
season with salt and pepper, to taste. Remove the pizzas from the oven and drizzle
with Basil Vinaigrette. Top with dollops of the ricotta cheese mixture and let
rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
