Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
-
In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and sauté until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Cook until the mushrooms are golden brown and any liquid has evaporated, approximately 8-10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
-
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and shape. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper.
-
Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
-
Spoon the cooked mushroom and leek mixture over the cheese layer.
-
Top the pizza with the remaining shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
-
Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
