Recipe type: pizza
Ingredients
- 1 dough ball
- 6 ounces red pizza sauce
- 5 ounces ground pork
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix pork, garlic, paprika, smoked paprika, crushed red pepper, sage, salt and pepper.

- Bake.
- Slice pizza and sprinkle with Parmesan. A very light dusting of smoked paprika is optional.
