Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking tray or pizza stone
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • For the Dough:
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup warm water 110°F
  • For the Toppings:
  • 1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms any kind, but cremini or portobello work great
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup tomato sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Dough
  • In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  • Mix in the flour, salt, and olive oil. Stir until it forms a sticky dough.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Add more flour if it's too sticky.
  • Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for 10-15 minutes. From my overall experience, letting it rest longer (up to 1 hour) enhances the flavor, but if you’re short on time, a quick rise will do just fine.
  • Prepare the Toppings
  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, around 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Set aside.
  • Assemble the Pizza
  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your preferred thickness (thin for a crispier crust or thicker for a chewier bite).
  • Transfer the dough to a baking tray or pizza stone.
  • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
  • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Evenly distribute the sautéed mushrooms on top of the cheese.
  • Bake the Pizza
  • Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  • Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve
  • Slice and enjoy! Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or fresh herbs if desired.
