Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (approximately 12 inches in diameter) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Chorizo sausage
- 200 grams White mushrooms
- 1 medium-sized Yellow onion
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Crushed tomato sauce
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Dust your work surface with 1 tablespoon of flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo sausage (removed from casing, if applicable) and cook, breaking it into small pieces, for 5-7 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and thinly sliced yellow onion. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until they are browned and all liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.
Spread the crushed tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving about 1 inch of the edge uncovered.
Sprinkle garlic powder over the tomato sauce for added flavor.
Layer half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top of the sauce.
Distribute the cooked chorizo, mushrooms, and onions over the cheese layer.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chorizo Mushroom and Onion Pizza!
