Fennel and Sausage Pizza
I made this fennel and sausage pizza one night and it was the best pizza we have had in a long time. You can adjust the amount of toppings and sauce and cheese to your preference. For the dough, I like Jay's Signature Crust from this site.

1 fennel bulb, cut into 1/2-inch slices, fronds reserved

1 pound prepared pizza dough, or as needed
