Prepare the dough: Whisk 1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F) and the sugar in

a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let stand until foamy, about 10

minutes. Stir in olive oil.

Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the

yeast mixture and stir to make a shaggy dough. Place dough on a floured surface

and knead about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour

to prevent it from sticking. Form into a ball, place in a large oiled bowl, turning to

coat with the oil. Turn seam-side down and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at

room temperature about 1 hour, 30 minutes, until doubled in size.

Position oven rack to

top shelf, along with a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat to 450 degrees F.

Prepare sausage in a large skillet. Remove and drain the fat.

Sprinkle working surface and rolling pin with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Knead

dough for a few seconds to begin shaping it into a ball. Using rolling pin, roll the

dough out to a circle that is approximately 10" in diameter. Finish stretching using

your hands. The dough should be thin. Remove baking sheet or pizza stone

from the oven and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Carefully place the pizza dough on

the stone or baking sheet and quickly sprinkle with Ricotta Cheese. Scatter the

Mozzarella and Gorgonzola pieces, along with the sausage, and finally, top with

Parmesan Cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and

the cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herb, cut and enjoy!

*Always cook sausage to internal temperature of 160 degrees F
