Instructions
- Make pizza dough and pizza sauce. If you are short on time, store bought is perfectly fine.Pizza dough, Pizza sauce
- Prepare the toppings. Sauté the mushrooms. This gives them some caramelization and a sweeter flavour. Slice the olives, cut the ham.4 cremini mushrooms, 5 olives, 2 slices of ham cut into quarters
- Brush oil on cast iron pizza pan.1 tablespoon of canola oil
- Pat out and stretch the pizza dough. Then put it on the pizza pan.
- Put on the cheese, then toppings except basil.200 g of shredded cheese
- Heat the cast iron pizza pan on high heat until the bottom of the crust is slightly browned. Use a wok spatula or tongs to lift the crust up slightly so you can see if its browned nicely. Careful to not burn it. This will give your crust a nice texture, slightly crispy on the outside but still soft on the inside.
- Finish cooking the pizza in the oven at 475 °F for 5 minutes or until the cheese is nicely browned the way you like it. The pizza will cook faster since the bottom of the crust is already cooked.
- Top with basil, cut and serve.5 basil leaves
