1
Preheat the oven to 500.
2
Using a paper towel, grease the bottom and sides of a seasoned cast iron skillet with the canola oil.
3
On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to gently shape the dough into a circle a few inches larger than the skillet, then transfer the dough to the oiled pan. The dough will bounce back, but press it gently up the sides as much as possible.
4
Spread the sauce evenly across the dough, then top with the mozzarella and sausage or your toppings of choice.
5
Bake the pizza for about 20 minutes, until the mozzarella is bubbling and golden and the crust is brown and crispy.
6
Transfer the cooked pizza to a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve immediately.
