How to Make Pizza With Sausage Sauerkraut Swiss Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 teaspoon caraway seeds. Sauté until the onion just begins to brown, about 7 minutes.
  4. Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl.
  5. Stir in 1 (16-ounce) jar sauerkraut and 1 tablespoon sauerkraut juice.
  6. Let cool to lukewarm. Then, gently mix in 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese.
  7. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  8. Place one 12-inch pre-made pizza crust on a baking sheet.
  9. Spread 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard evenly over the crust. Top with 1 cup cooked Italian sausage, crumbled, then the sauerkraut mixture.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, the topping is beginning to brown, and the crust is crisp.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
  12. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy!
