Bechamel / Italian Sausage / Shredded Mozzarella / Sun-dried Tomatoes / Rosemary Mushroom Recipe

Pizza Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Bechamel Sauce

   In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. 2

   Cook the Italian Sausage

   In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, breaking it into small pieces. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. 3

   Prepare the Mushrooms

   In the same skillet, add olive oil and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are golden brown. Add fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper, and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Assemble the Pizza

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the bechamel sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Top with cooked Italian sausage, sautéed mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

5. 5

   Bake the Pizza

   Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve.
