Ingredients

• 1 ball (about 12 oz) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 8 ounces Mushrooms
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or an inverted baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal to prevent sticking.

Step 4

In a skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and any liquid has evaporated.

Step 6

Brush the remaining olive oil over the pizza dough, ensuring the edges are well-coated.

Step 7

Evenly distribute the cooked mushrooms over the dough.

Step 8

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the mushrooms, followed by the Parmesan cheese.

Step 9

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
