Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.25 cups warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 20 slices pepperoni slices
• 0.75 cup pizza sauce
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, prepare the wine-infused mushrooms: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to brown.

Step 7

Add the dry white wine, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the mushrooms. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes or until the wine is mostly evaporated. Set aside.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat.

Step 9

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into a 12-inch circle on a piece of parchment paper.

Step 10

Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 12

Evenly distribute the wine-infused mushrooms and pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.

Step 13

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes over the toppings.

Step 14

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 15

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 16

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving.
