Wood Fired Sausage, Mushroom, And Bacon Pizza Recipe

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until frothy.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well.

Combine Ingredients

Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead the Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Cook Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess grease.

Cook Bacon

In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.

Prepare Mushrooms

In the same skillet, sauté the sliced mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your wood-fired oven to about 700°F (370°C).

Shape Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into a round pizza shape.

Add Sauce and Cheese

Spread marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

Add Toppings

Evenly distribute the cooked sausage, bacon, and sautéed mushrooms on top of the cheese.

Bake Pizza

Carefully place the pizza in the preheated wood-fired oven. Bake for about 5-7 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Garnish and Serve

Remove the pizza from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve hot.
