Mushroom Sauce Cheese Pizza

Ingredients (for one 10-inch pizza)

• 1 pizza crust
• 2–3 tbsp mushroom sauce
• 2 tbsp pizza sauce
• 1–1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4–5 fresh mushrooms, sliced
• Bell pepper, thinly sliced
• Red onion, thinly sliced
• Italian sausage or grilled chicken (optional)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• Black pepper and dried oregano, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Mix the mushroom sauce with the pizza sauce, then spread evenly over the crust, leaving a small border.
3. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella over the sauce.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper, red onion, and optional meat.
5. Top with the remaining mozzarella and add a few small spoonfuls of mushroom sauce.
6. Drizzle with olive oil and season with black pepper and oregano.
7. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden and the crust is crisp.
8. Let the pizza rest for 2 minutes, then slice and serve.

Tip: Mushroom sauce is usually already savory, so taste it before adding any extra salt.
