Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-16 ounces) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 20 slices Pepperoni slices
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup (for dusting) Flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean flat surface with flour. Roll out the pizza dough ball into a 12-inch round using a rolling pin.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled out dough onto a piece of parchment paper to allow easy maneuvering.

Step 4

Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sogginess.

Step 5

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.

Step 6

Sprinkle mozzarella cheese followed by Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Arrange pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese, followed by an even distribution of the sliced mushrooms.

Step 8

Sprinkle dried oregano, salt, and black pepper across the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Cut into 8 slices and serve hot.
