Directions
PREHEAT OVEN TO 425F with rack in lower area of oven.
Oil a round pizza pan, preferably black steel; sprinkle lightly with cornmeal. Set aside.
Roll dough into circle, roughly 11 inches in diameter, letting dough relax a few minutes if it keeps withdrawing.
Place in prepared pan, gently stretching it back to size once it's in the pan. Prick dough with fork.
Heat oil in 7-inch skillet over medium high heat.
Remove casing from sausage; crumble meat into ½-inch chunks. When oil is hot, add sausage, garlic and onion to pan.
Cook until onion is softened, about 4 minutes, stirring often. Spread mixture on dough leaving ½-inch margin. Sprinkle ½ cheese over.
Bake for 12 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese over. Bake until this cheese has melted and dough is deeply browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with minced cilantro and green onions. Cut into wedges.
Garnish each wedge with drained salsa and cilantro leaves.
Serve hot.
