Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 oz) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 8 ounces Mushrooms
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the center rack.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.
Brush the remaining olive oil over the pizza dough, ensuring the edges are well-coated.
Evenly distribute the cooked mushrooms over the dough.
Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the mushrooms, followed by the Parmesan cheese.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
