- Garlic

- 1/4 cup, grated
- Fresh basil

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, typically about 1/4 inch thick for a satisfying crust.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until they are tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to a baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
- Spread the sautéed mushrooms evenly over the pizza dough, creating a delicious base.
- Arrange the sliced tomatoes on top of the mushrooms, layering them for an attractive appearance.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the tomatoes, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese for a rich flavor.
- Season the pizza with additional salt and pepper to your liking.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped basil for an aromatic finish.
- Slice into wedges, serve hot, and enjoy the delightful medley of flavors!
Tips
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes before baking.
- Try adding a blend of other vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra color and nutrients.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free pizza crust.
