Ingredients
  

For the Pizza Dough

  • 480 g all purpose flour
  • 240 ml water warm
  • 1 tsp active dry yeast heaping
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

For the pizza

  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 10-12 slices of ham
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella
  • 1 cup shredded Gouda or something like mild Cheddar
  • 5 Cremini mushrooms, medium to large size thinly sliced
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • pinch sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

For the Pizza dough

  • Weigh your flour. Add sugar and yeast to warm water and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  • Add the flour to the bowl of your stand up mixer. Pour the water and yeast mix in and add salt and the olive oil. Mix with the dough hook for 8-10 minutes.
  • Take the dough out on lightly floured surface and knead with hand for a minute then shape into a ball and rub with olive oil. Return to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let proof in a warm spot for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  • Once doubled in size, take your dough out and split it in half. Shape into two balls and let rest under a kitchen towel and on lightly floured surface for about 30-40 minutes.

For the pizza

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
    Rub your sheet pan with olive oil. I used two quarter size sheet pans. If you are using a bigger pan size just leave the dough whole instead of splitting it into two balls.
  • Shape the dough into roughly the size of your pan then transfer it into the pan and make it fit nicely from edge to edge. Press with your fingers slightly around the edges to create a nice crust area (always my favorite part).
  • Pour the pizza sauce on and spread all over, stopping about half an inch from the edges.
    Spread half of the cheese. Arrange ham evenly then spread rest of your cheese. Now top with mushrooms and finish off with dry oregano and sprinkle of sea salt. If you are using two smaller pans repeat with the second dough.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes on 500 degrees until the edges are golden brown. As soon as you get it out of the oven brush the edges with little bit of olive oil.
  • Slice into squares and enjoy!
