Minced meat, mushroom and cheese pizza

Minced meat, mushroom and cheese pizza has yeasted dough, a browned filling and a layer of melted cheese. The dough bakes until golden at the edges, while the meat and mushrooms stay under the melted cheese. I cut it into wide slices; I’ve also made a double batch, and Alex called it pizza and asked for more. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 63 minutes. Rest: 70 minutes. Total time: 158 minutes. Servings: 2.

Ingredients
For the dough
- 400 g flour
- 25 g fresh yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 125 ml lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons oil
For the filling
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 medium onion (150 g)
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper (75 g)
- 1 large tomato (180 g)
- 1 medium carrot (75 g)
- 400 g mixed ground pork and beef
- 1 tablespoon gogosari and kapia pepper paste
- 1 level tablespoon tomato paste
- 4 sprigs fresh dill (8 g)
- 3 small basil leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 350 g fresh mushrooms or 280 g drained canned mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 150 g cheese
- 1 teaspoon oil for greasing the dishes
Preparation
1. Dissolve the fresh yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes, until it puffs up. 2. Put the flour and salt in a bowl, add 2 tablespoons of oil and the yeast mixture. Knead for 8 minutes, until the dough no longer sticks to your hands or the bowl. Cover it and leave it to rise for an hour, until it doubles in size. 3. Finely chop the onion and bell pepper, dice the tomato and grate the carrot. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan and sauté the onion and bell pepper for 4 minutes, until softened. Add the tomato, carrot, meat, gogosari and kapia pepper paste, tomato paste, chopped dill, basil, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook for another 11 minutes, stirring, until the meat is browned and the liquid has reduced. 4. Clean the mushrooms and slice them. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and sauté them for 8 minutes, until the liquid has evaporated. 5. Divide the dough in two. Grease two ovenproof dishes with the teaspoon of oil and spread one piece of dough in each. Top with the meat mixture, mushrooms and grated cheese. 6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40 minutes, until the dough and cheese are browned at the edges.
Notes
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days; the filling can be made a day ahead and kept separately. I serve it with a simple green salad and start the dough well before the meal, since it takes an hour to rise. Choose firm mushrooms with dry caps; in an overcrowded pan, they release water and steam instead of browning. If the filling seems watery, leave it on the heat for a few more minutes before spreading it over the dough. For a meat-free version, replace the 400 g of meat with 400 g of mushrooms; the dough contains gluten, and the cheese contains dairy.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use canned mushrooms?
Yes. Use a small jar, about 280 g after draining, and leave the mushrooms to drain for 10 minutes before sautéing them.
What can I use instead of fresh yeast?
Use 8 g of dry yeast and leave it for 5 minutes in the lukewarm water with the sugar before mixing it into the flour.
What should I do if the dough doesn’t rise?
Move the bowl to a warm place, about 25°C, and leave the dough for another 20 minutes.
Can I use whole wheat flour?
Replace 100 g of the white flour with whole wheat flour. If the dough feels stiff, work in another 1 tablespoon of water.
