Equipment

  • Pizza Stone or sheet

Ingredients
  

  • Cornmeal or semolina flour

Pizza Dough

  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant bread machine yeast or instant yeast
  • 3 ¾ cups "00" flour (pizza flour) or bread/all purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ½ teaspoon stevia blend sweetner or 1 teaspoon sugar

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 can Pizza Sauce
  • Olives

Instructions
 

Pizza Dough - Bread Maker (if not using a bread maker skip to the next step)

  • Add the wet ingredients to the bread maker - Water, Olive Oil
  • Add dry ingredients to the bread maker - flour, salt, sugar
  • Create an indent in your dry ingredients (you can poke with your finger) and place your yeast. Do not let it touch the wet ingredients
  • Place your bread maker on dough setting and let rise according to the instructions

Pizza Dough - Mixing bowl

  • Add the warm water to the bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Allow to dissolve (or follow the instructions on your yeast packet if using a specific yeast)
  • Add flour, sugar, salt, and olive oil. Knead using paddle attachment on a standing mixer on medium speed or knead by hand for 7-10 minutes. The dough should be sticky. If it's too wet - add more flour.
  • Cover with plastic wrap or bread proofing bag - Let the dough rise in a warm place (rough 1 ½ hours) or until double in size.

Making the Pizza

  • Once the dough has risen - preheat your oven to 475°F. Tip: preheat your pizza stone for roughly 30 minutes
  • Divide the dough into 8 pieces (or 2 pizzas if you do not want to make miniature mushroom pizzas). Cover with plastic and let rise for an additional 15 minutes.
  • Once risen - Flatten the dough balls into mushroom shapes or standard circle pizza and flatten using your finger tips - this will prevent it from bubbling up. Let rest again for 10 minutes
  • Brush the top of the dough with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle cornmeal or semolina flour onto your pizza pan and transfer the dough on top of your pan.
  • Spread your desired about of pizza sauce and cheese. Decorate the mushroom with pepperoni and place the olives as eyes. - Have a little fun with it! Be careful not to add too many toppings and overload your pizza causing it to improperly cook.
  • Once your Pizza is topped, bake 4 mushrooms or one circle pizza in the oven for 10 - 15 minutes until cheese is golden. Add additional cheese if desired!
