Equipment

  • Chopping Board & Knife
  • Pizza Stone or Steel or Griddle

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1.5 tablespoon tandoori masala (store bought or homemade) my recipe here
  • 6 oz mushrooms sliced
  • ⅓ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 16 oz pizza dough (store bought or homemade) my recipe here
  • ⅓ cup tomato sauce or pizza sauce
  • ½ cup shredded mozarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil to brush on edges

Instructions
 

Make Tandoori Mushrooms

  • In a wide pan, warm up the butter on medium heat and add the chopped garlic.Saute for 15-20 seconds and add the sliced mushrooms.
  • Sprinkle the tandoori masala and toss to coat the mushrooms.
  • In about 2-3 minutes you will see that the mushrooms are sweaty and start to shrink in size. Keep the heat constant and dont stir too much.
  • When you feel that the mushrooms are 80 percent done, about 4 minutes or so, add the salt and combine.
  • Transfer the mushrooms to a plate to cool down while you stretch the pizza dough.

Assemble & bake the Pizza

  • Preheat ypur oven to 475 F. I use my seasoned cast iron skillet to bake pizza. You can use your baking sheet lined with parchment paper or pizza steel (if you have one).
  • Punch down the dough and on a floured surface, using your hands in a circular motion shape it in a circle.
  • Sprinkle a teaspoon of semolina or cornmeal on the griddle. Place the shaped pizza dough into the cast iron griddle/baking sheet/pizza steel.
  • Laddle tomato sauce on top of the dough and spread leaving about an inch from the edges. Add the shredded cheese over the sauce.
  • Layer the tandoori mushrooms and onions on top of cheese. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese. Brush the edges with olive oil.
  • Bake the dough for 8-12 minutes untill the cheese has melted and the edges are golden.
  • Slice & Serve. Enjoy!
