Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Thyme
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a piece of parchment paper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 5

Brush the remaining olive oil over the rolled-out pizza dough.

Step 6

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle a layer of mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

Step 8

Add the sautéed mushrooms evenly on top of the cheese layer.

Step 9

Top with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the pizza (with the parchment) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 12

Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve.
