Ingredients

• 1 pre-made or homemade ball Pizza dough
• 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese
• 20 slices Vegetarian pepperoni slices
• 6 oz Button mushrooms
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1 tsp Dried basil
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a pizza peel if using a pizza stone or place it on a baking sheet.

Step 3

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.

Step 4

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, spreading it out to cover evenly.

Step 5

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

Distribute the sautéed mushrooms evenly across the top of the cheese layer on the pizza.

Step 7

Top the pizza with the vegetarian pepperoni slices, arranging them evenly across the pizza.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano and dried basil over the entire pizza for added flavor.

Step 9

Transfer the pizza to the hot pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Slice into 8 pieces and serve hot.
