Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 °F

• Remove from heat and let cool
• Butter a 14-inch springform pan with a thin layer of butter and set aside
• Throw the cornmeal onto a work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out the pizza dough until there is a little overlap over the side of the pan when placed into the springform pan
• Using some kitchen shears, cut off the overlap and then press the dough so that it covers the bottom and goes up the sides of the pan
• Place a layer of mozzarella cheese onto the bottom of the dough
• Add the sausage on top and spread it out
• Sprinkle a layer of peppers and onions on top of that then place the tomatoes over the top, crushing them in your hands as you place them
• Sprinkle the tomatoes with oregano and red pepper flakes
• Fold the excess dough down onto itself to make the crust a little shorter
• Place the pan onto a sheet tray and pop it into the oven
• Turn the oven down to 375 °F and bake for 45-50 minutes
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes (don't worry, it will stay hot!) Remove from the springform pan and sprinkle with parmesan; cut into 8 pieces and serve
