Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

- While the dough is rising, prepare the toppings. Slice the mushrooms and zucchini, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the red hot chili peppers.
3. Assemble the Pizza:
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release any air bubbles. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into your desired shape and thickness.
- Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread 1 tbsp of pasta sauce evenly over the surface of the dough.
- Evenly distribute the sliced mushrooms, zucchini, minced garlic, and sliced chili peppers on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the toppings.
4. Bake the Pizza:
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Mixed mushroom, garlic and chilli pizza FAQ:

How long should I bake the pizza?

What size pan or baking sheet should I use?

Can I substitute the mushrooms with another vegetable?

Tips:

- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active to get the best rise for your pizza dough.

- Allow the dough to rest and rise in a warm, draft-free area for an optimal rise.

- Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms for varied textures and flavors.

- Preheat your oven well in advance to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the pizza.

- Drizzling a bit of olive oil on the crust before baking can add an extra layer of flavor.

- Sprinkle some fresh basil or parsley on top after baking for an added touch of freshness.
