Equipment

  • Pizza Pan

Ingredients

  • ½ tablespoon crushed garlic
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • Semolina flour optional, for the pizza peel
  • ½ cup marinara sauce or pizza sauce
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or gruyere
  • 1 cup freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 500°F. If you have a pizza stone, let it heat up for around 30 minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the crushed garlic, sliced basil, and olive oil together. Set aside.
    ½ tablespoon crushed garlic, 2 tablespoons thinly sliced basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil
    A glass bowl filled with green herbs.
  • Roll or gently stretch your pizza dough into a big circle. If you don't have a pizza stone, put the stretched dough on a baking sheet with parchment paper. But if you're using a pizza stone, sprinkle a bit of semolina flour on a pizza peel and put the stretched-out dough there.
