Delicious Sausage and Mushroom Pizza

This pizza features a crispy crust topped with savory sausage, sautéed mushrooms, and a blend of melted cheeses. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

• 1 batch easy homemade pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup Italian sausage, crumbled
• 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the homemade pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
2. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the crumbled sausage until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and slightly browned. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then add the cooked sausage and sautéed mushrooms. Top with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, and sprinkle with oregano and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Bake the Pizza: Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
6. Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired. Slice and serve hot.
