Bratwurst Pizza
Bratwurst Pizza
In the Vorpagel-Leahy family, we don’t default to Italian sausage as our pizza topping of choice; we use bratwurst! Many family gatherings and meals feature a homemade pizza with this flavorful and unique combination of toppings: bratwurst, bacon, and peppers, topped with slices of Mozzarella cheese from our deli section. We use Paielli’s premade pizza dough for this recipe, but you can make your own or use any other store bought pizza dough. Similarily, feel free to use your favorite store-bought or homemade pizza sauce. Our pizzas always end up a little lopsided because we’re meat experts, not dough experts, but they taste great. This is such a simple recipe and you can customize it however you like. This recipe is here as an idea and a starting point for you to enjoy your own bratwurst pizza at home. Cheers!
