Equipment

  • Equipment Needed: Pizza stone or baking sheet, large mixing bowl, skillet, rolling pin

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • For the Dough:
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 packet active dry yeast approx. 2 ¼ tsp
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Toppings:
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • ½ cup cremini or porcini mushrooms sliced
  • ½ cup Italian sausage crumbled and cooked (pork or chicken sausage)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • Fresh parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  • Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm water with sugar, then sprinkle in the yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  • Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough begins to form.
  • Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 8–10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic. If it feels sticky, add a little flour.
  • Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Toppings
  • Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add a dash of olive oil if needed, and cook the sliced mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until soft and golden. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the Cream and Parmesan: In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to create a rich, creamy base.
  • Step 3: Shape the Dough and Add Toppings
  • Preheat the Oven: Place your pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven and preheat it to 475°F (245°C) for at least 15 minutes.
  • Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 12 inches in diameter for a classic pizza size.
  • Add the Toppings:
  • Spread the cream and Parmesan mixture evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Evenly distribute the sausage and mushrooms.
  • Step 4: Bake the Pizza
  • Transfer the Pizza: Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
  • Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  • Garnish: Remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh parsley on top, and add a dash of black pepper for extra flavor. Let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
