On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into circle size of medium pie.
-
16
Place dough onto pan sprayed with non stick spray (don't worry if the entire circle doesn't fit, only half should fit onto pan) on lower half of the dough, spread half the ricotta mix (leaving about 1inch of edge to seal) and top with half the sausage mix.

Sprinkle additional Mozarella cheese on top.
-

Dot the 1 inch of edge with water and flap the top portion of dough over and crimp the edges with a fork.

Make 3 slits in top for the steam to seep out.
