  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ cup warm water about 110°F

Instructions
 

  • Instructions
  • Step 1: Make the Dough
  • Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Create a well in the center.
  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the well. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
  • Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  • Step 2: Prepare the Sauce 6. Sauté the Garlic: In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Make the Tomato Sauce: Add crushed tomatoes and oregano to the saucepan. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 3: Prepare the Mushrooms 8. Cook the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced porcini mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Step 4: Assemble the Pizza 9. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to the highest setting (around 475°F or 245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
  • Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out to your desired thickness (about 10-12 inches in diameter).
  • Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add the sautéed porcini mushrooms.
  • Step 5: Bake the Pizza 12. Transfer to the Oven: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  • Garnish: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven. Let it cool for a minute, then garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
  • Variations and Tips
  • Vegetarian: Add more vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or artichokes for extra flavor.
  • Meat Lovers: Top with prosciutto, sausage, or pepperoni for a meatier option.
  • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free cheese or omit the cheese entirely for a lighter version.
  • Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
