Hey, foodies in the hive!
Wishing you all a great weekend ahead 😁 Oh boy, this year is about to end; only one more weekend to go. I thought I might be on time to have. I thought I was still in time to eat one more homemade pizza, since it's been a while... Like many foodies, I guess, I get the cravings. I get an idea in my head about something I want to eat, but I don't always have the ingredients, some utensil, or the time. Has this happened to you?

Well, this time I wanted to make a pizza so I wouldn't have to cook again during the day. It was going to be a busy day. This would be my lunch and if I wanted to, I could have a slice or two for dinner.
INGREDIENTS
Dough x crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
Toppings
1 medium size onion, half medium size red bell pepper, 2 medium size tomatoes, 150 gr white button mushrooms, 300 gr mozzarella, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon freshly crushed garlic, 1 tablespon white vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, 3 tablespoons basil pesto
Personally, I like to sprinkle a little salt and oregano and drizzle a little more olive oil after I put all the toppings.

THE PROCESS
This thin, crispy crust will be ready almost without you noticing. It requires almost no kneading and you can roll it out easily with a rolling pin. With my hand, I mixed all the ingredients in a bowl. I worked it a little into a ball and left it in the bowl covered wth a kitchen cloth.
While the dough rested a little, I fixed the toppings. And the sauce? No, no sauce, but nobody would notice 😁
Wash, peel, crush, chop.
I cut the onion into julienne strips, crushed the peeled garlic cloves in a mortar, and cut the green pepper and tomato into small pieces of less than one centimeter.
I cut some tomato juliennes for an extra juicy touch.
Then it was the turn of the mushrooms. It really all started here: I had a craving for mushrooms which evolved into a craving for pizza after I saw the mozzarella and tomatoes in my fridge. This happens to us home cooks, doesn't it?
When I make pizza at home, I shred the mozzarella. Some people use it in slices. There are others who break it into chunks. How do you usually do it?
Once I had this ready, it was time to get back to the dough.
I took it out of the bowl and kneaded it just a little until it was smooth, which happened in a couple of minutes.
A little flour to prevent the dough from sticking to the counter...
A few passes of the rolling pin... and it's ready. I left it about half a centimeter thick.
#
I greased a baking pan since it was the one that would fit in my electric oven. I drizzled it with olive oil.
Now that it was time to add the toppings, I let the dough sit for a few minutes and finished fixing the toppings.
I mixed the tomato, red bell pepper, garlic, oregano, white vinegar, olive oil, salt, sugar together.
I then added most of the mozzarella, mixed and distributed as evenly as I could over the rolled out dough, which I had already placed in the greased pan.
#
Then I added the rest of the toppings, oregano, and basil pesto.
#
For these occasions, I'm always happy to have frozen homemade basil and nut paste. I just add olive oil, and freshly crushed garlic, and I have delicious pesto for any dish.
Twenty five minutes in the electric oven at 400°F, and it was done!
Homemade mushroom pizza in about an hour. I love it ❤️
Mushrooms are definitely one of my favorite pizza toppings in the world.
What about you?
Any favorite pizza topping, or you're not much of a pizza person?
As usual, I hope this post was useful 😁❤️
