Give your classic pizza a generous topping of mushrooms to make this delicious mushroom pizza. Use my homemade overnight pizza dough and 5-minute pizza sauce, and make the pizza night fun for the whole family.
Pizza sauce: Add all ingredients to a blender until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and cook on high for 2 minutes. You want the excess moisture to evaporate. Let it cool, then use it on your favorite pizza.
½ tsp Garlic powder, 1 tbsp Onion powder, 400 g Tomatoes crushed, 1 sprig Basil fresh, 4 tbsp Tomato paste, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tbsp Brown sugar, ¼ tsp Salt, ¼ tsp Black pepper powder
Pizza dough: Combine the flour, salt, and instant yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add the lukewarm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. You can do this by hand or with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The dough should double in size.
360 g Water warm, 5 g Instant dry yeast, 15 g Sugar, 15 g Olive oil, 400 g All-purpose flour, 9 g Salt
Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 12-24 hours. The dough should double in size.
Oven: Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (usually around 475-500°F or 245-260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
Divide: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts for two pizzas. Shape each part into a ball.
Shape: On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape one dough ball into a round pizza base about 12 inches in diameter. If making two pizzas, repeat with the second dough ball. Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel lightly dusted with flour or cornmeal.
Assemble: Spread a thin layer of the 5-minute pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Evenly distribute half of the sautéed mushrooms on top of the cheese. If using, scatter a few fresh basil leaves over the toppings.
200 g Mushrooms, 200 g Mozzarella, 100 g Parmesan cheese
Bake: Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated stone or a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Rest: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
