Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made or homemade ball Pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices Vegetarian pepperoni slices
- 6 oz Button mushrooms
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a pizza peel if using a pizza stone or place it on a baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, spreading it out to cover evenly.
Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes.
Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly across the top of the cheese layer on the pizza.
Top the pizza with the vegetarian pepperoni slices, arranging them evenly across the pizza.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and dried basil over the entire pizza for added flavor.
Transfer the pizza to the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake 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 a few minutes before slicing.
Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot.
