Ingredients
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced (optional)
2 cups mixed mushrooms (cremini, shiitake, button), sliced
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup tomato sauce (homemade or store-bought)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or vegan cheese for dairy-free option)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Red pepper flakes (optional, for a spicy kick)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion (if using) and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or pizza peel.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly on the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Top with sautéed mushrooms and onions. Sprinkle mozzarella and Parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly. If using a pizza stone, the pizza will cook faster.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil or parsley and red pepper flakes (if desired). Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free cheese and skip the Parmesan.
- Try different mushrooms like portobello, chanterelle, or oyster for a more complex flavor.
- Feel free to add extra toppings like spinach, arugula, olives, artichokes, or roasted garlic.
- Brush the crust with olive oil before baking for an extra crispy texture.
