Mushroom Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 8 oz cremini mushrooms
• 8 oz mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup pizza sauce
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh basil (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape.
2. Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza pan or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
3. Slice the cremini mushrooms and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
4. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then arrange the seasoned mushrooms evenly on top. Finish with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
6. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and garnish with fresh basil if desired before serving.
