Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200g
• Warm water - 120ml
• Active dry yeast - 5g
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Mushrooms (sliced) - 150g
• Onion (finely chopped) - 1 small
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Zaatar spice - 1 tablespoon
• Tomato sauce - 100g
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 100g
• Fresh parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F).
5. In a skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
6. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are soft and any moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in zaatar spice and season with black pepper.
7. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
8. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough.
9. Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms and onion mixture on top, followed by the shredded mozzarella cheese.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, slice, and serve warm.
