• Baking sheet or pizza stone
• Oven
• Parchment paper (optional)

Ingredients

  

• Ingredients
• For the Dough:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water about 110°F or 43°C
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar

• 1 cup sliced mushrooms button or cremini
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano optional
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

 

• Method
• Step 1: Prepare the Dough
• Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
• Mix the Dough: Add the flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until combined. If using a dough hook, mix on low speed until the dough comes together.
• Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
• Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rest for 30 minutes to rise.
• Step 2: Prepare the Toppings
• Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, crumble the Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed and set aside.
• Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Sauté until they are soft and any liquid has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Step 3: Assemble the Pizza
• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place your baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.
• Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference, to about 1/4-inch thickness.
• Add Sauce: Transfer the rolled dough to a piece of parchment paper (for easy transfer to the oven). Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
• Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle the cooked sausage, sautéed mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Add oregano if desired.
• Step 4: Bake the Pizza
• Transfer to the Oven: Carefully slide the pizza (on the parchment) onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone.
• Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
• Step 5: Serve
• Garnish and Slice: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes, then garnish with fresh basil. Slice and serve hot.
• Variations
• Vegetarian Option: Skip the sausage and add more vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or spinach.
• Cheese Lovers: Mix different cheeses like provolone or gouda for a unique flavor.
• Spicy Kick: Add crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños for extra heat.
