Pizza with mushrooms and sausages

Mushroom and Sausage Pizza The delicious journey of a perfectly cooked pizza begins with a soft, fluffy, and flavorful dough, which becomes the ideal base for a great combination of ingredients. This mushroom and sausage pizza recipe is not just a simple meal, but a culinary experience that can turn an ordinary evening into a memorable feast for the whole family. Preparation time: 20 minutes Rising time: 30 minutes Baking time: 15-20 minutes Total time: 1 hour Number of servings: 4 Ingredients For the dough: - 250 g flour (preferably type 000 for a finer dough) - 20 g fresh yeast (or 7 g dry yeast) - 1 teaspoon salt - 1 teaspoon sugar - 3 tablespoons olive oil (or vegetable oil) - 150 ml warm water (about 37-40 degrees Celsius) For the filling: - Tomato paste (or ketchup, to taste) - 200 g canned mushrooms (or fresh, sliced) - 300 g sausage (or any preferred type, sliced) - 200 g ham (diced or thinly sliced) - 300 g grated cheese (or a mix of cheeses) - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1-2 tablespoons oregano (fresh or dried) Preparation 1. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, mix the flour with salt and sugar. It’s important that the salt does not come into direct contact with the yeast, as it can inhibit its activity. In another bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Wait a few minutes until it starts to foam – this is a sign that the yeast is active. 2. Kneading: Pour the yeast mixture over the flour and add the oil. Start kneading the dough with your hands or a dough hook mixer until it becomes elastic and smooth, about 5-10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it. 3. Let the dough rise: Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl greased with a little oil. Cover it with a clean towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size. 4. Preparing the filling: While the dough is rising, you can prepare the filling. If using canned mushrooms, drain them well and slice them. The sausages can be sliced or cubed, and the ham likewise. Grate the cheese and set it aside. 5. Shaping the pizza: Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it reaches the size of the baking tray you will use. Transfer the dough to the greased tray, making sure it fits well into the corners. 6. Assembling the pizza: Spread the base with tomato paste or ketchup, smoothing it out with a spatula. Place the diced ham evenly over the surface, followed by mushrooms and sausage slices. Finally, sprinkle the grated cheese over the pizza to achieve a golden and delicious crust. 7. Seasoning: In a small cup, mix the olive oil with oregano. This combination will add aromatic flavor and enhance the taste of the pizza. Drizzle the mixture evenly over the pizza. 8. Baking: Let the pizza rest for 15 minutes, then preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese melts and forms beautiful bubbles. Serving Once the pizza is ready, take it out of the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it plain or with a drizzle of olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of freshness. This pizza pairs wonderfully with a crunchy green salad or a cold beer, making it perfect for relaxing evenings with friends or family. Useful tips - If you don’t have fresh yeast, you can use dry yeast, but make sure to activate it according to the instructions on the package. - For a crispier pizza, you can try baking the dough for a few minutes before adding the filling. - Variations: You can experiment with different types of cheese (mozzarella, feta, parmesan) or add fresh vegetables like peppers, olives, or onions for a more complex flavor. - For more flavor, try adding a bit of chili or garlic to the tomato paste.
