Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices Canadian bacon
- 1 cup (sliced) White or cremini mushrooms
- 1 medium (sliced thin) Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside the oven to heat up.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined pizza peel or cutting board for easy sliding into the oven.
Brush the rolled-out dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sogginess and to enhance crispiness.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce as the base for your toppings.
Top the cheese with sliced Canadian bacon, ensuring the slices are spread out evenly.
Add the sliced mushrooms and bell peppers, distributing them across the pizza for balanced flavor in every bite.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the toppings for added flavor.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the pizza to enhance the topping flavors and encourage browning.
Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and bubbled.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your Canadian Bacon Mushroom and Peppers Pizza!
