Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza

Instructions
 

  • When I make pizza, I always start by stretching the dough. I like to take my time with this part until the dough has the right size and thickness. I then place it on my baking tray so I can top it with sauce and toppings.
  • I use around 2 tbsp of homemade pizza sauce for this recipe and spread it evenly all over the pizza. Since this is a low-effort pizza recipe, you do not have to worry about it being perfect.
  • Next, I spread a good amount of cheese on top of the pizza and make sure that it forms a barrier between the mushrooms and the pizza dough, as the dough can get wet from the moisture released by mushrooms.
  • Now, place the mushroom and Pepperoni toppings on the pizza. You can add as many pepperoni/ mushroom slices as you like, but make sure not to overload the pizza, as that could be too much topping for a thin dough to support.
  • Finally, I added a bit of mozzarella on top. I do this so when the cheese melts it holds the toppings together.
  • Before you bake, preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) for about 10 minutes. Trust me, this step is important for an evenly cooked crust and perfectly melted cheese.
  • Once the oven is ready, cook the pizza at 190°C (375°F) for 15-16 minutes. Keep an eye on it—you’ll know it’s done when the crust turns slightly brown and the cheese starts to develop brown spots.
  • Take your pizza out, slice it up, and enjoy.
