Pizza Funghi e Salsiccia is a delectable Italian pizza that combines the earthy flavors of mushrooms with the savory richness of sausage, all on a perfectly baked crust. This high protein dish is not only satisfying but also a delightful treat for pizza lovers.

Ingredients

• Pizza dough - 250 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Tomato sauce - 100 grams
• Fresh mozzarella cheese - 150 grams, sliced
• Italian sausage - 150 grams, casings removed
• Mushrooms (button or cremini) - 100 grams, sliced
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated
• Fresh basil leaves - a handful, for garnish
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 250°C (482°F), preferably with a pizza stone inside.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Break it apart into smaller pieces with a spatula.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender and any moisture has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
4. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, approximately 10-12 inches in diameter.
5. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza peel or baking tray lined with parchment paper.
6. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
7. Layer the sliced mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the cooked sausage and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven or bake on the tray for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
9. Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
10. Serve hot and enjoy your Pizza Funghi e Salsiccia!
