Equipment

  • Equipment Needed
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or dough hook
  • Rolling Pin
  • 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
  • For the Toppings:
  • 1 cup marinara sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 8 oz Italian sausage mild or spicy, your choice
  • 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.
