Pizza con tutti (Pizza with everything)
- Pizza dough made with four cups of flour (see recipe)
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus oil for greasing a pizza pan, optional
- 2 cups marinara sauce (see recipe)
- 1 cup thinly sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup thinly sliced sausages, such as Italian sausages or salami or Polish sausages
- 2 cups coarsely grated low-fat or regular-fat mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- Red-pepper flakes
- There are two recommended ways of cooking pizza at home.
- It may be prepared and cooked in a 14-inch pizza pan, or it may be baked on a baking stone.
- If it is to be baked on a pizza pan, preheat the oven to 475 degrees; if it is to be baked on a stone, preheat the oven to 500 degrees and put the stone in the oven.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Flatten, one-half at a time, with the hands into a circle.
- Start punching it all around with the back of a clinched fist to shape it into a larg er circl e about 12 or 13 inches in diameter.
- Keep the surface floured lightly but enough so that thedough does not stick.
- If pizza pans are used, rub the surface of each with one tablespoon of oil.
- If a baking stone is used, you will place the pizza circle on the wooden paddle.
- You should bake one pizza first and continue to make the second after the first is baked.
- Arrange one circle of dough on each pan or on the wooden paddle.
- Add half of the marinara sauce to the center of each circle of pastry and smooth it almost, but not quite, to the edge.
- Scatter half of the mushrooms, half of the sausage slices, half of the Mozzarella and half of the Parmesan over the sauce.
- Sprinkle each pizza with two tablespoons of olive oil.
- If a pizza pan is used, place it in the oven for 14 minutes or until the pizza is well done.
- If the baking stone is used, slide the pizza off onto the stone and bake 14 minutes or until the pizza is well done.
- Repeat with the second pizza.
- Serve with red-pepper flakes on the side.
